Subject: Re: [karaf] Switching from gshell to gogo

Well, if we consider switching, it *is* the right moment, as Karaf has
not done any release yet.
I'd rather do that before the first release than after.

That said, the commands will be the same as we would just port the
existing karaf commands for gshell to gogo, which currently has a very
minimal impact (change the base class and the package for annotations,
that's mostly it).
>From a syntax point of view, the difference now is that they would
look like osgi:list instead of osgi/list, but I'm quite sure I can
hack gogo to allow the customization of the separator.
I don't see any technical problems in porting the completers (which
are really helpful).

So in short, if I can configure gogo to use '/' instead of ':' as a
separator, it should be mostly transparent for end users.  People
having written commands would need to migrate though (but as I said,
it's easy to do).
