I would like ‘init’ to be a command that acknowledges there are
potentially a number of different things that need to be set up.
Currently, the only thing we need to set up (IIUC) is the project root,
but other things would certainly fit under the ‘init’ banner.
How about this UI:
be init
be init --root ROOTDIR
such that ROOTDIR defaults to ‘.’ if the ‘--root’ option is not
specified.
