No, there isn't. All of the CLI-like functionality is independently
implemented in Insight. It does not (AFAIK) use a terminal to provide
CLI support.

It would indeed! IIRC, someone submitted a patch to do source highlighting,
but they reneged when asked to "sign" the license agreement. [This isn't
required by Red Hat legal anymore.] Man, that must have been over ten
