I'd like to make a "graphical shell" which could do this sort of thing, it
would also have a textual format for saving and suitable for editing.

I think it would be good to have an equivalent graphical tool for each command
line tool, as powerful as the original one; and an editable graphical
representation of each file format, file-based interface or protocol.

A nodes-and-arcs graph representation is already parsed and more symmetric that
a textual language.
