Neil,
You could use transient[1], the tool used to build the menus of magit[2].
I really like magit's discoverability and ease of use.
There is a video of a talk where it is used to control kubernetes from

Why not both?
Did anyone consider writing a foreign data wrapper (see

Thanks Marcin, Bob and John for your interest and replies; I hope you don't
mind me choosing this one to follow up to.
To try to provide a more detailed idea, I've appended below an Org file
