Move To syntax wishes

With my last couple projects, I've had a couple of wishes for a Move To syntax -- if anyone knows another easy way to do these, let me know.

1.  [channel x] [move to] [channel y]  would take the move instruction from channel x, copy it to channel y, then track through channel x (@ [enter]).  

For example, the cue brings up  channel 1 DR, but the blocking now has the actor DL.  [1] [Move To] [5] [Update].  (and maybe doing an update-trace would do the Move To at the cue originating channel 1's track)

2.  I often need to move a move instruction to an earlier cue, so what I'd want is something like [channel x] [move to] [cue last].  The current cue would then be a track, and the mark would adjust as well, unless the mark happened in the target cue, in which case I would get a warning.

I can do this now with Copy To the last cue  (or Recall From the next cue) and at enter for the current cue, but it seems Move To would make this a 1 step process.  If I remember correctly, Copy To requires the mark to be manually corrected as well.

Alternatively, maybe there could be an @ [enter] equivalent to bring a track forwards.  @ [trace] [enter]?  So, for example, channel 10 moves in cue 5.  In cue 4, [10] [@] {trace} [enter] would put the move in cue 4 instead of 5.
