I'd be happy see --format=elisp options to commands like status where
it's useful, and refactor them so that the format is pluggable.

Another approach is to have scripts use commands with smaller scope,
for example "bzr ls --added", "bzr ls --modified", "bzr renames"
should not change their output in the way that status does.  (Not all
of those exist yet.)
