There are many ambiguities here. At least to me :) Some notes:

Hi,
When implementing a Gogo shell command are there any rules of thumb on
whether I should return a result from the command method or print it on
System.out? Possibly using the CommandSession to format it first.
What bothers me is that AFAIK the automatic printing of return values from
command m
ggestion is to avoid using sys.out/err whenever possible.
