Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like we currently use 2.3.4.
This still wouldn't solve the problem because now the user would need to call
something like getattr(wbt, "exec")(<args>) instead of wbt.exec(<args>) like
all the other commands.
I think the easiest thing for me to do would be to just change the command name
from exec to something else.
