The Hugs Server API (hugs98-Dec2001/docs/server.{tex,html}) is an
effort in this direction.  But it omits the command line stuff because
you clearly wouldn't want that in a server would you?  Ooops, your
examples show that you want just that.  Oh well...  Shouldn't be too
hard to add the command line interpreter to the API.
