No. The shell has serious limitations. The intent is to obsolete it with more convenient utilities.

> Create a suite of command-line utilities (probably based on the shell's existing commands, or a subset of them), rather than be restricted to the limitations of the shell to issue these commands.
> This adds benefit by being able to more simply pipe to external utilities, like awk, grep, sed, etc. It also has the potential to eliminate restrictions when scanning for binary data, standardize command line arguments better (especially by removing the shell "current-table" context), and leverage settings/profiles stored in some file (like $HOME/.accumulo/config).
