This module will, in the not-so-distant future, grow functionality for
reducing boilerplate in functions that implement cli commands. It will
likely also house most in-tree cli commands.
Provide a way for out-of-tree users of lualoader to patch into the loader
system without having to modify our distributed scripts.
Do note that we can't really offer any API compatibility guarantees at this
time due to the evolving nature of lualoader right now.
This still has some utility as local modules may add commands at the loader
prompt without relying heavily on lualoader features- this specific
functionality is less likely to change without more careful consideration.

This was also a convenience convention (for me) that is not very lua-tic.
Drop it.
I've maintained some parentheses where I'd prefer them, for example,
'if x or y or (z and w) then', but these situations are far and few between.
This was previously chosen out of convenience, as we had a mixed style and
needed to be consistent. I started learning Lua on Friday, so I switched
everything over. It is not a very lua-nic convention, though, so drop it.
Excessive parenthesizing around conditionals is next on the chopping block.
If we failed to execute the input line as pure lua, run the command through
parse for consistent argument parsing. Pass the parsed arguments through to
a global "cli_execute" written in Lua, which is expected to either handle it
or pass it back through to interp_builtin_cmd (via loader.command).
lua-handled cli commands will then exist as globals in whatever module they
most belong in, and invocations at the loader prompt will magically dispatch
to them if they exist.

Use loader.setenv and loader.unsetenv instead of loader.perform
Convert from include("/boot/foo.lua") to foo = require("foo");
to bring in line with latest lua module conventions.
Enforce a uniform style for the new .lua files:
o hard tab indenation for 8 spaces
o don't have if foo then bar; else bas; end on one line
