[[!meta title="The New Command Line Manifesto"]]
Idea: let all new commands to support also machine-readable
formats as inputs and outputs.
This, along with UNIX pipes and daemon interfacing, brings CLI
to a new era of services that are:
* Still based on small programs that do one thing but one thing right.
* But also are capable of interacting with each other in an uniform way.
So let them support parameters like `--json` and `--yaml` for it's I/O.
In other words, with parsers and serializers it's possible to keep an
ecosystem of UNIX microservices interacting with each other using a
consistent API.
