I guess it could be special-cased for start, stop, restart, since these three do not take (by default) any arguments (I *think* you can make `start' procedure taking arguments? I have never tried.). But for general case, the `service2' is passed as an argument to the action `restart' of service `service1'. I am not sure having different semantics for restart and any other action is a good idea though. But what I think would be a good idea is for start, stop, restart to signal an error when additional unexpected arguments are provided.
