Well.. in the GNU world we have readline. Does most of the dirty work (you
still need to provide it with a method of finding the possible
completetions.. it can't guess what your application is expecting)

but for this kind of thing even having a telnet interface is defenitely
overkill. Also, there are mostly the same security issues with having a
HTTP interface, except that you do not have the full ACL controls we already
have for HTTP, or the additional access controls (passwords) we have for
cachemgr.
