What happens when we desire to return additional information, beyond tx-id?

For the sake of future compatibility, it seems like the flag should present a choice between returning (a) just the current ‘sent’, or (b) a JSON map containing tx-id, and perhaps other things.

A ‘gettransaction tx_id’ API call is on my short list.

What do other folks think; should sendtoaddress … true return just the tx_id, and you have to make another API call to get details if you need them? Or should it return an Array?
