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.

This was never considered to be used be the FE before.

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.
