See section 13 (Idioms)
http://home.hccnet.nl/h.g.muller/engine-intf.html#13
This is covered under "An alternative move syntax".
There is no particular reason to preserve this idiom other than no one
has yet suggested changing it. I guess it might break some interfaces,
but they probably should fix those to work with less idiomatic engines.
Patches welcome ;)
