The reason I don't is that I usually perform the search, use my bash history to find the last time I used pvrqueue and then replace the last word with "!!:$".

Also, if you have --refresh running as periodic cronjob there is a chance (slim, hopefully) that the index number will change in the time between running the search and adding the pvr item. Generally I have considered this preferable to having to wait for a refresh if the cache is more than 4 hours old - far too often this has caused me to have to wait before a search is completed.
