I also have a strong feelings about variables.
I believe there should be standard GTP command, "var" seems to be a good name,
that would write list of variables (with types?)
var var_x would print value of var_x
var var_x value would set the value.

What do You think?

I finally followed the GTP (draft) standard and used a prefix separated by a
hyphen for non-standard extension commands, so "play_sequence"
became "gogui-play_sequence".

"setup_sequence" wouldn't be a good name, because the setup stones are not a
sequence, you can specify them in any order.

There will also be a second command "gogui-setup_player" for setting the color
to play, but support for that is optional, since it is not strictly necessary
that the engine is informed about the color to play. The genmove and play
commands are sent with a color argument anyway.
If an engine does not support gogui-setup, setup stones will be sent as moves
as previously.
