If someone adds that feature, sure. :-) Right now the missing feature is
PostScript or bitmap output, so a command line version would be pretty
useless.

(There is actually a separate REPL executable based on scwmrepl, but using
CORBA/ORBit instead of X for the IPC. You could plug the REPL of your
choice, or even write a REPL in elisp or Guile if someone does the
necessary ORBit bindings. I guess there are a couple of issues getting
this all to work with a no-X version of the program - namely
authentication of CORBA connections - but it shouldn't be that hard.)
