@realityking On the one hand, having `__call()` around was great for the Platform and CMS to help with the JRequest -> JInput transition.  I'd just use `get()` more often if it weren't for the fact that the filter is the third param and I often don't find myself needing to specify a default (second param); `getCmd('option');` is much nicer on the eyes than `get('option', null, 'cmd');`.  Maybe this is something to think about going forward too.
