Ya, consistency is good, but not always possible, if you also want 
upward compatibility.  (Although in this case, I'm not sure I'd claim 
inconsistency.)

KLIST, RRN and single-key field have all been valid forever, and in 
V5R1, free-form CHAIN supported those three types of search argument. 
When support for the parenthesized list of keys was added in V5R2, we 
couldn't remove support for KLIST, RRN or single-key-without-parens.
