"Descent and maintain 4000" then when I have that under control, I will get a vector, and when that seems to be on the up and up, in their careful voice reserved for slow children or the oxygen-deprived, "Nooowww, coonnttaact ABC approoaach on 1xx.yy, Goood daayy!"
CummON buddy, feed it to me!
Depends where you are, the controller's situation and traffic I suppose.
You may have a point. Seems the local controllers at my airport know the tail numbers of some of the locals. They give you these long clearances knowing you're pretty familiar.
