[~bfoster] and I had a discussion about this and here is the overall plan:

1. We're going to modify the client to support this change. Basically, the 
client will have more functionality to support more command-line features

2. We'll need to adjust the parsing grammar slightly so that it is flexible and 
consistent. The basic grammar rule:

client [options] [args] <command>

We'll use the gnu-style --options and --args where options are optional 
parameters and --args are arguments specific to the <command>. unlike --options 
and --args, command is required for each call.

A command is an action that a client executes. A client call has only one and 
only one action; multiple actions are chained through a calling script via 
multiple client calls.
