I tried to do a "proof of concept" implementation of a "--style" option - but 
failed due to database issues.

It appears that the cli does not use the dt database and so things like styles 
are not available.

Can someone with more knowledge of the system confirm this?

I can understand why it may be undesirable to have, perhaps multiple instances 
of, the cli concurrently accessing the database when the gui may be active - 
if the cli updates the database..

Does the cli need update access to the db?

There does appear to be the creation of some temporary tables done when the 
database is opened by the gui, but are these tables required in the cli?
