I don't think it's worth adding. Having more commands to do with slice
positioning will add more confusion - there are already so many.

On the other hand there are slice commands that are truly lacking,
like the autosort mode which you can set in the slice editor. Plus
there's lots of stuff that's missing from the slice editor: all the
velocity and target settings and the 'mobile' flag (also no script
commands for that).
