The monster is a general-purpose Steam client tool... I think it's
also used by developers to push updates to Steam; at least that's what
the other commands look like. (Disclaimer: I have no idea, I'm not a
SteamWorks licensee.)

Or, you know, put the humongous list of commands into a file and use
+runscript. "./steamcmd.sh +runscript update_czero.scmd" is even
shorter than the ./steam variant. Yes, the tool has a hell lot more
options, and yes, it is therefore more cumbersome to use, but I'm sure
all of us have written a set of scripts to help us in our day-to-day
operations anyway, so what's one more?

And, for the sake of fairness... you would also have to slap "-beta
beta" onto the ./steam command line.
