I don't see that as clutter, it's useful information, and keeping it
discoverable is good, not bad.

I think it's hard to design a good SRF for this. Because the fields for
different types of progress are different / empty, you can't just
trivially return them as rows. You'd have to do some EAV like
'command, field_name1, field_value1, ...' type of thing - not
particularly pretty / easy to use.

Greetings,
