So I still don't like the tool namespace you picked: Git-alike generic naming plus 
subcommands work so much better that I'm not sure why we are even having that 
discussion: if you name your tool 'stacktool' and alias everything you have today 
to under 'stacktool run ...' and add 'stacktool help' as a second, obvious 
subcommand then you'll have your current syntax and a lot more future flexibility 
and ability to branch off various functionality a'la Git, perf or kvmtool ...

It's an 100% equivalent superset of your current stacktool's parameter structure, 
so none of your prior objections apply.

Thanks,

	Ingo
