There has.  I did a bunch of work on the command set last spring.
This is what python-openstackclient
(https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient) is implementing,
although very slowly.  The biggest issue is backward-compatibility and
that's the primary reason for just starting over rather than trying to
migrate the CLIs that come with the client libraries.

Have a look at http://wiki.openstack.org/UnifiedCLI/Mapping.  All of
the keystone commands (as of June or so) are complete.  A few of the
nova server commands are implemented although mapping all of the nova
commands should be complete.
