Or perhaps, why not both? Imagine a monorepo where the same source code that produces the "ls" output also has a library function that returns the same as structs. Perhaps ls is a bad example, but it would be quite neat if the command line and programming context could act on semantically similar procedures. The Rust effort to implement coreutils anew could possibly pick this up and make something really useful here.
