Ok, I guess I should know better than to use the word IMPOSSIBLE... Although I would call both of those (perhaps sideways) CLI usage. I think the feature should be well-defined and easy to explain before it's implemented. I will defer to the wisdom of the crowd on this, (i.e. I've said my piece and now I'll be quiet) but if it can't be explained in a short paragraph of text, I still maintain that it's overly complicated.
