What I meant was that the -o switch is already used. It causes the
output of the commandline builtin to be tokenized, so that each
argument or command is printed on a separate line.

I've implemented the requested functionality using the -I/--input
switch instead:

fish>commandline -I "foo;bar" -p
bar

I've also added getting/setting the cursor using the -C/--cursor
switch. 'commandline -C' will print the current cursor position, and
'commandline -C 3' will set it to 3.
