I have not seen anything before this part, but I gather we're talking
about a need for a CLI with some specific commands, right?

Have any of you considered CCL? It's an already written CLI, in which you
can define your own commands to at will, with a fairly good design for
parsing parameters and executing different other commands based on the
command given along with parameters.

I honestly can't see much need for writing additional CLIs unles you have
some rather odd requirements.
