New commands

The new commands are named after the action they perform, but not after the data type they handle like the normal commands. Their names usually starts with an upper case letter:

meas, list, detail, diag, diagen, compar, carte, post

Their syntax is a little different and one has to indicate on which data type they should work:

command data-type [argument]

The command names are:
