expect is huge. (it includes all of tcl).

it seems to me that there's room for a filesystem control interface
to fossil (in fact the interactive element could just be an interface
to that) and then hacks such as expect would be unnecessary
for this purpose, and more sophisticated programmability
would be straightforward.

same applies to venti. what's with that http interface anyway?
