How obvious.

Kind of makes me wish I still used 1.2 -- oh wait, I do.

Seriously though, IMNSHO, with every release the CLI gets more obtuse.

I'd like to see a more natural and intuitive interface following a "verb 
noun" model like Oracle, MySQL, or even GDB.

       hangup [sip|iax|dahdi] channel <channel-name>

seems so "obvious."
