Its certainly a nice idea, but I don't know if it works out so good
everywhere... f.e. structured data should be printed as basic_io for
automate and nicely wrapped for normal user commands. Also, some
functions have to be implemented completely different, like mtn read,
since for automate usage over stdio there is no stdin channel available.

But hey, I don't hold you off - patches / branches accepted :)
