I think this is why stuff like GDB has both a CLI and a MI. In order
to keep the CLI clean you have to make choices, similar to how we
already separate plumbing from porcelain. I guess in that sense our MI
is the plumbing, and the porcelain is our CLI. Of course, in that case
there needn't be such an option in the porcelain, as long as there is
one in the plumbing ;).
Conclusion, go for the config option but make sure there's a switch
for scripts in the plumbing?
