Agreed, this saves me loads of time and should be enough incentive for any author to want to work in this manner.
Another one to add in here is slash commands.
I ran into this recently when I (as others have mentioned) was mashing code together quickly to get my first addon working. Awesome Info. As part of this, I created a slash command of /ai
Seemed reasonable at the time, then later other authors created addons with the same two letter slash command and suddenly there was an issue. AutoInvite is one.
I changed my slash command to something longer as I was only using it during debugging anyway.
So .... worth adding a reference page on the Wiki for slash commands and another for global namespace?
I don't know whether enough authors would check it to make it worthwhile is the problem.
