The command-line completion has been implemented a few days ago.

I'm trying to keep the doc up to date, but this time failed to do
that. The help system should be quite good by now and I hope that
most people should be able to get by just using that.

You can use the continuation character (\) as in shell.

I'm afraid that I can't promise anything of the kind right now.

This was a lexer problem. Somehow it let the newline get into a
token. It's fixed now.

The cibadmin wouldn't complain about a missing interval. The DTD
says nothing about that. The CRM could, not sure about that.

The CLI is also not checking that. It may do so in future, not
decided yet about it, as it may prove to be too difficult.
