I guess one thing I might mention here:
I can imagine other partition-oriented commands existing, e.g. a command
to find the bootable partition on a particular storage device. I'm not
sure if we should create a single "part" command with various
sub-options for this, e.g.:
part uuid mmc 0:1
part get-bootable mmc 0
or create separate commands:
partuuid mmc 0:1
part-get-bootable mmc 0
