You mean, one file "xxx.lua" per command "mtn xxx"? Like this:

    contrib/command/fuse.lua
    contrib/command/conflicts.lua
    contrib/command/foo.lua
    contrib/command/bar.lua
    contrib/command/quux.lua
    ...

Sounds really reasonable to me, especially because this way if one
wishes to out-of-the-box include some of the commands in an own Lua one
just have to add include("contrib/command/xxx.lua") to std_hooks.lua and
the stuff will be included directly into the "mtn" command. I vote +1
for Richard's suggestion and volunteer to assemble the currently known
commands there...
