There was a complex thread a few weeks back, led by Julian Foad. I
can't remember the rationale here. I admit that it's kind of odd. I
mean, any command that has a wc-item as a target should be able to
talk about PREV and COMMITTED.

If this is a deliberate decision, we better change the example in the
book. The first 'example' in this section won't even run:
