Yes, this is very intuitive for Apple because it means one less external switch
to worry about. Thus making the machine less expensive. Actually, this has been
available for the Mac II for a long time. It is called Programmer's key (by
Paul Mercer) and I believe it is the prefered method amoung most programmers
to reset their machines. 

The latest version of Programmer's Key allows you to selectively switch which
debugger to break into, TMON or MacsBug. This actually involves many more
combinations of keys depending on the debugger you want to be in. Quite a nice
hack I must say.
