We're not reinventing the wheel.  The problem is that we've chosen
a different wheel than what you're used to.  Reimplementing it now
to support Cisco's method of command completion would cause trouble
for those of us who like having commands that aren't cryptic.  While it's
easier for you to type, it's less easy for someone to learn what you're
doing by looking over your shoulder.  The Asterisk CLI currently makes
it very easy for a person to discover new commands through the tab
command line completion process, which is one of its strengths.
