I agree, but some MI commands are from the core, like get_statistics.  
We can
either implement a "pseudo-module-identifier" like stat_get or move it  
to core,
like "core_stat_get".

The question is how many developers we hurt by changing existing  
commands.
For the actual command name, we can implement aliases so both work  
during
a release. And some warnings.

But if we change responses to make them more parseable, that's another  
issue.
Then the API is changed.

We propably should also take some of these questions to the sip-router  
project,
since the interface is part of the future common core.

One thing I noticed is that there's a lot of duplication of code between
the modules mi_fifo and mi_datagram. That is a good way to create future
problems. Maybe the parsers should move in to the core mi code?
