In the past, we've been able to circumvent this by using the alias attribute on @Param. In this case, though, there's just no @Param on the CLI to augment. The idea, then, in this case was to ADD the CLI params that matched the missing ConfigBean attributes, which would then allow us to interrogate the class for the data we need. The thinking was to address this issue as simply as possible now and find a more general solution later should the need arise.

In at least one case, though, our @Param.alias approach won't work, as the alias is already used. It seems, then, that the more general solution above needs to be found.

One problem, though, is that, for those instances where CLIs are wrapped and exposed, we have no way of getting the the CLI command to the ConfigBean. However, assuming we found or invented a way, we'd have the same mismatch problem above, but coming from a different direction: we'd have a list of attributes and values based off the ConfigBean, but there may not be CLI params to match them.
