Can they implement ex over the same msgpack interface they want for GUIs? The ability to switch back and forth between ex mode and visual mode is much lower priority than the ability to interface with my editor over something resembling ex (which itself is not super high priority, but this definitely falls in the "cons" column for neovim).

Edited to add:

FTA:

"As for the ex command-line utility, that can easily be implemented as separate program that talks to nvim via msgpack-rpc"

Great! I have no to minimal objection.
