The point of the Unix model is that tools don't have to be specially
instrumented to do anything but read and/or write from stdout or merely
have the option of being invoked by a single command.
Apple scripting falls prey to the same sorts of "tool has to be built
with scripting especially in mind" when it comes to it's own scripting
model for GUI tools.
