I am sorry for the potential misunderstanding, to have a CLI only
command it is enough to add a new API path to PVE/CLI/qm.pm , there is
no need to add a completely new binary.

I am sorry if the previous review was too negative - it's definitely
possible to have such a convenience wrapper around existing
functionality! I am just wary of deviating from the existing storage
model for seemingly not very good reasons.

I'll send a more detailled review with a counter-proposal for replacing
patch 1-2, as a reply to your third patch.
