I guess I was expecting that with this fancy mechanism for breaking  
up a response into multiple chunks, those multiple chunks might  
actually be used for something.

At the moment "mtn au stdio" returns exactly the same as "mtn  
automate", but encoded in a format that allows pipelined commands.   
That is nice.  It just isn't exactly what I was expecting when I saw  
the format allowed multiple chunks.
