I think the command name should establish a mental context to what er
are doing. We may need additional commands in the context of SPL
setup, so "spl export" serves a double purpose: it creates the context
that we are doing something for SPL, and it allows for extensions.

"export" alone could be about anything.

See for example the environment handling - here we also provide a
sub-command "env export", but I (intentionally) never attempted to add
"export" as direct command to export the environment variables.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
