I like that, too.

"--get-regexp" may also be a good candidate to be folded into the base verb "get", with "--regexp" option to tweak what kind of key is used.

Could "--get-color" and "--get-colorbool" become verb "get" with "--type=color"? The other parameters they get are somewhat different from "get", so that may not work very well, I guess.
