"… even if the execution could be better."

The execution could be so, so much better.

I also think a lot about how some parts of PowerShell were inspired by CL on IBM i, and I find that I'm similarly frustrated when I can't just whack F4 in the middle of muddling through a command's parameters in order to be presented with a structured form interface for interactively filling out said parameters.

As much as I'd really like having Genera's hoverable and clickable command listener in PowerShell (like, imagine being able to do a `Get-ChildItem` and getting back an object display that allows you to left-click on an item to run `Get-Content` on it), I'd absolutely settle for the level of interactivity and hypertextuality offered by IBM i.
