Yeah. This is similar to the technique I used in my web.d
thing, though web.d's is a lot more complex. (It also handles
sub objects, argument name and default values, and some more.)

I just find it super useful.

Yeah, I messed up argv.

Here's an updated version:
http://arsdnet.net/dcode/dshell.d

added basic formatting to the data interface, lazy printing
(try "cat" and type in stdin) and bug fixes.


I just might put it up on the github over the weekend.

Hell, this kind of thing is easier in D than in a lot
of dynamic languages! imo anyway. eval is sometimes nice
but  having the type information available to do a smart
wrapper is very nice.
