I was confused by your response which quotes Trevor's suggestion and
then starts talking about a separate tool. But if you are actually
responding to me, then the arguments make sense.

I think we can drop the 'separate tool' idea, and use 'bitbake-setup
run'. If someone wants straightforward shell scripts that just run all
pipeline steps one after another that can be done too, but rich
functionality should be inside the 'run' command.
