+Summary: Design and implement new Tool Command Language
+
+The debugger needs a new tool command language for the interpreter. 
+This should not be based on a pure language like it is now, but rather
+on the notion of commands, and some specific commands might implement
+extended features like C# parsing.
+
+The general idea is that there is a common tool-like language that
+performs parsing, and grouping, like the Unix shell does, and provides
+the arguments pre-processed, like:
+
+list file.cs 10-20
+
+Would invoke the command "list" with the arguments "file.cs" and
+"10-20".  Parsing those is up to each command.
+
+Maybe we could use attributes to annotate commands, so some common
+tasks can be encapsulated, for example:
+
+b -option -option2 
+
+We could define:
+
+[Name ("break")]
+class Breakpoint : Command {
+     [Option]
+     string option;
+
+     [Option]
+     string option2;
+
+     Execute (string [] args) {}
+}
