However, I could completely see a requirement for all modules to register their syntax variations with a CLI interpreter, so that if you typed IN a verb, the CLI interpreter would know to which modules that verb applies because the modules have registered their verbs.
That's generally the way it's done in interpreters which are V-N for everything. Of course, that might take a whole rewrite and be completely impractical. But hey.... it COULD be done....
