+10000 on having a clear *and* documented interface for console commands.
I think that the "verb + target" paradigm is much more universal in Unix,
SQL (create Table, not table create) and people can remember easily.
Also commands should help people in understand why there are similar
commands save-xml save-xml2 save-oar and the meanings of some obscure ones.
In case of errors also some hints, for instance "create" shoud prompt for a
list of available "create" objects...
Should this be a good start?
