Description

Why ?

• It is nearly impossible to read James CLI help message
• James CLI command line naming is obscure, too long and too monolitic
• No precise help.
• No auto completion / partial non ambiguous command interpretation

How ?

• Create a top level group entity for commands. This way we keep automatic and adaptative help generation.
• As they are space separated, command names will get easier to read
• Attach description for thes functionnality group.

Example syntax :

james-cli.sh FUNCTIONNALITY [EXTRA SPECS...] COMMAND [ARGS... ]
