I see this as having a couple of advantages

* no bespoke API interfacing code to maintain
* the wrapper is custom but pretty small
* plugins can benefit by using the same wrapper
* we can turn the wrapper off and fall back to the same calls directly
  with the client (also good for local interaction)
* in a similar theme, it's still pretty close to "what I'd type on the
  command line to do this" which is a bit of a devstack theme

So FWIW I'm positive on the direction, thanks!

guess we should take advice on if this is a temporary work-around, or
an actual solution)
