I do not want to nack, but looking at this command in isolation I am
quite confused at what it is supposed to do (think ab out seeing it in
a log file and wondering what it means w/o further context).

What does it mean to add a host into a host (host-add-host) ?
And which one is added to the other one ? test in test2 or test2 in
test?

I do not know if we can change names/syntax to make this more
immediately understandable, but if we can I'd like to do that.
Obscure/confusing syntaxes generally makes it easier to do mistakes,
which are bad in a tool used to manage security.

Simo.
