+ As it stands, Python commands have no way to advertise their options. They are + required to parse their arguments by hand. That leads to inconsistency, and more + importantly means they can't take advantage of auto-generated help and command + completion. This leaves python-backed commands feeling worse than built-in ones. +
++ As part of this job, it would also be great to hook automatically hook the "type" of an option value + or argument (e.g. eArgTypeShlibName) to sensible default completers. You need to be able to + over-ride this in more complicated scenarios (like in "break set" where the presence of + a "-s" option limits the search for completion of a "-n" option.) But in common cases it is + unnecessary busy-work to have to supply the completer AND the type. If this worked, then + it would be easier for Python commands to also get correct completers. +
