I don't know if the example is a good starting point for an implementation.
Seems it'd be much simpler to e.g. just have {{table.put}} take an array for
the {{col => value}} part.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18999
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: shell
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Drob
>
> A {{Put}} can carry multiple cells, but doing so in the shell is very
> difficult to construct. We should make this easier.
