It would be more annoying to prefix operations with '/' to me. Perhaps, there could be command mode and an operation mode, or something else. I'll think about it.

I know you did it on purpose and for why ;)

Just saying that I don't think the lowest level operation access is what makes sense as the default in the long run.

Yes, but I also know that users doesn't read - they do what they are "used" to...

and typing "help" is what I would think majority of users would do....

similar I assume this CLI could have operations like "status" to give info about the server(s); "list servergroups", "list domains" etc. that 
does the grunt work of avoiding to know the detyped model and process/server layout upfront.

btw. I was using brians deploymentscanner branch and /<tab> gave no completions, /h<tab> completed help.
