    What about commands which have a lisp form as interactive spec?

There can be a function they can call to do this
(Stefan proposed that).

    That's simply not true!
    CUA mode uses them, and it works fast and flawlessly.

The more things use these hooks, the more danger there is of bugs
due to running things in the wrong order.  For things like this,
something fixed, at the right place in the command loop, is better.
