> What do people think about wrapping a Natural Language Processing interface around the command line (for educational purposes)?

Fragile, verbose, and actively hostile to learning why anyone would actually use a command line shell to begin with. For example, how would your syntax support redirection?

Bourne shell syntax is hairy enough as it is. The quoting rules are rebarbative and dealing with whitespace can drive you to madness in some circumstances. Adding another thick layer of syntactic sugar onto that is only going to end in tears.
