+Yes, definitely. I can see it being a very easy way to put one's bug

+
+Instead of a separate command for each output format, could we have a
+single “produce a static report of the bug database” command, and
+specify output format as an option?
+
+How about:
+
+    be report
+    be report --format ascii
+    be report --format rst
+    be report --format html
+
+Where the ‘--format’ option has a default of, e.g., “ascii”.
+
+This would mean that you are implementing the ‘html’ format of this
+putative command.

+
+This sounds quite sensible to me. The existence of a command implies a
+module of the same name in ‘becommand’, but there's no necessary
+implication that that module can't import modules from elsewhere to do
+its work.
