If so, please > tell what they are. haha. I am the worst at writing documentation, but I try anyways! I think it's important to mention that mi2 supports receiving CLI commands directly into the interpreter, but only after a certain point in it's development. Early on it wasn't supported, so the only safe way of passing CLI commands directly is to use -interpreter-exec. > > - That you can type CLI commands into MI, and this is not longer considered > > to work just by accident This was never considered to be used be the FE before. > > - That CLI command don't produce async notifications I think it's important to mention that this will most likely change in the future and that currently this is a lack of a feature.
