Traditionally we've striven to appear marginally literate in the text we
produce, that includes command structure. There's no harm in trying to
adhere to that tradition, especially as it does not cost us more than
some chattering on the developers' list.

"Checkpoint" is not a verb. Written English has deteriorated to the
toddler level in the last several decades, but I see no reason for us to
follow suit.
