Looks good, but I'm curious if this will work for my application... does the context that is passed in to the execute function automatically overwrite the external commands context or does the command author have to write that in? Also, is an alias just a wrapper around references to the external command functions or is it a local copy of those functions?
It seems that if the latter is the case then having a bunch of commands which are separately making aliases of other commands would bloat the command namespace... I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to allow command authors to expose mini-command-apis for use by other commands which could then be accessed via a CmdUtils method?
