--------------------------------------

>From a "dumb-user-perspective", yes, I think that's right. Not sure if I'm proposing something silly though. I only have a cursory knowledge of how the implementation of this sort of thing works.

> Proposing modification to the Shell to allow applications to create their own set of commands. This might be accomplished using java.util.ServiceLoader or something like it. Specifically, I'm thinking of a case where I have a create table command that is different than the one provided by the Shell. In my case, my create table command may create one or more tables and setup iterators on them.
