That's what they were saying. What I'm saying is that, if your goal is to
minimize complaints, you'll get zero complaints about the mud if the mud
doesn't exist.
(Of course, it's only supposition that any given parser would have
"glaring inconsistencies." Again, you can use whatever parts of the ideas
you want to build your command language. Thus, you can make it as
consistent or inconsistent as you want.)
