Avneesh -

I'm inclined to give an Ack to patches 1-3, especially once the small nits
are fixed.  I'm not convinced we need the ability to call random functions
from the cli even in a dev build so I would lean towards a Nack on 4-6.  I
would be interested in seeing if anyone else has thoughts on the matter
though.
