You can use commands safely from the library, if you want the same
precise behaviour that run_bzr_command offers.

Myself, I often want the behaviour but not the UI of a command, when I'm
writing something that uses bzrlib, which is why we have the three
layers:

* UI
* A small facade of convenience routines that matches the UI
* The domain model.
