A UI that implements it.  It was lost when bitbake's UI and server
functionality was split.  I've given thought to this, but a simple REPL loop
isn't sufficient, at least without corrupting the display, because some
operations will likely be asynchronous.  I suspect this may be why Richard
started working on an ncurses UI that includes an interactive command line,
but that part of that UI hasn't yet been implemented.
