Wait you want more bikeshedding? :P Anyway If I look at the original concern:

I have not seen anyone suggest what those other add operations might
be. Maybe the thing to-do is leave it alone. That is naked ADD,
neither VALUE or LABEL.
However, in the interest of progress-- +1 for VALUE; Its how I
naturally tried to "do it" in psql.
