Maybe gen_command_decl(name, arg_type, ret_type) since we've already
reduced the set of dictionaries into a single type name (where the type
name is possibly implicit)?  After all, we're not calling the function
with a python list or set, but with a singlar string (where that string
is the name of a type, and it is the type that then has multiple members
to form plural arguments or plural return values).  A bit more typing,
though, so up to you.
