So I still don't like the tool namespace you picked: Git-alike generic naming plus
subcommands work so much better that I'm not sure why we are even having that
discussion: if you name your tool 'stacktool' and alias everything you have today
to under 'stacktool run ...' and add 'stacktool help' as a second, obvious
subcommand then you'll have your current syntax and a lot more future flexibility
and ability to branch off various functionality a'la Git, perf or kvmtool ...

It's an 100% equivalent superset of your current stacktool's parameter structure,
so none of your prior objections apply.

Thanks,

Ingo
