I see a possible problems here. What if I run a module with 'parm=xxx', removes it, and then want to run it witout xxx? Will I have to remember that I used 'xxx' last time and use 'parm=no_xxx'? I may even not know that some previous user used the module with 'parm=xxx' This could get messy if 'xxx' is a powerful parameter.
