That would be lovely.
How would normal people add devices from the command line then? Do you
expect us to use -object or something like that with JSON instead? That's
very impractical so some command line UI should remain. Also is it
practical to force people to learn some QEMU specific language to be able
to write device models? Otherwise what advantage this gives over doing it
in C? I think these are questions to answer before getting into the
design.
