I was thinking of edge cases where someone may want to target a query
to a specific api server.  Diagnostics stuff.  Maybe we don't want to
add this now.  Seemed simple enough though.  Might be too much detail
work.

Okay.  I'll create a blue print.  Just seemed such a simple change we
could vote it up or down in gerrit directly.

Yes, sorry about failing to amend.  Still getting acquainted with
gerrit.  Already been informed of that.
