I'd love to have a machine-friendly, QAPI-based CLI with a human-friendly CLI layered on top, similar to machine-friendly, QAPI-based QMP / human-friendly HMP. To get this with reasonable effort, we need better infrastructure. We have done a few complex options manually, such as -blockdev. I recommend this only when there's a clear need for JSON on the command line. I doubt this is the case for -overcommit.
