I wonder about this in the context of argparse and the command line,
because argparse makes a strong distinction (and corresponding
associations) between *required positional* arguments and *optional*
keyword-like arguments (ie, any argument with leading dashes).
In the model Rajeev has shown so far, the "scope" argument (list,
domain, user) hasn't been optional.

This seems unnecessarily verbose on the one hand, and to not actually
correspond to an actual use case, on the other: there's no scope
mentioned. I feel the scope should be mandatory, even if it's
sitewide:
mmclient set --site-wide --key CAN_PERSONALIZE --value No
mmclient set --domain=python.org --key CAN_PERSONALIZE --value Yes
(after the first one, the second would be an error, I guess, but in
other cases a site-wide setting would be interpreted as a default).
I guess this horse has already bolted the barn, but I wonder about a
syntax like
mmclient set --site-wide --key PERSONALIZE --value Permitted
mmclient set --domain=python.org --key PERSONALIZE --value Permitted
mmclient set [email protected] --key PERSONALIZE --value No
for resource constraining settings. (Permitted could probably be an
alias for False.)
