Good point. For settings we expect MI clients to be interested in,
we could use the ui_out mechanism to give them named fields. I think
that will work fine.

I think that's fine, if we think we can settle it down by the next
release. Or the first release to fully support non-stop and async,
if that's not in time for the next release. At some point we will
have to lock it in place, like we did for mi2.

Existing clients should be using mi2. Some are probably just using
-i=mi, but that's an easy bug to fix.
