Comment 3 for bug 579362

there could be two different modes in "cli mode": "source input" and "command input".
That way, entering source code and commands can be easily separated.

Having a way to dump simulator state in some form of XML or RDF would be useful for processing it via other tools such as expect.

On the other hand, it would probably be easier to also provide an "expect directive" directly in the command mode, so that the simulator itself could directly tell if a test has failed or not
