The problem I see with the command itself processing a script is that you
may want/need alternate scripts based upon the reason for the shutdown
as well as needing to build in a mechanism to decide whether the
preprocessed
functions worked as expected and THEN decide whether or not to continue
with the actual shutdown.  If all of that preprocessing logic were in
separate command files, you can "roll your own" based on the situation.
I don't want to be tied into a single "shutdown script" as it were.
Of course, if it were an optional file, then I could just opt not to use
it and still get what I need :)
