Yeah, I agree it's unlikely. And the output is already ambiguous, as the
first field could be a blob (though I guess the caller knows if they
passed "--blob" or not). If we really wanted an unambiguous output, we
could have something like "file:...", "blob:...", etc. But that's a bit
less readable for humans, and I don't think solves any real-world
problems.

So I think it would be OK to use "<command line>" here, as long as the
token is documented.

Thinking about it again, I actually do like Peff's prefix solution better. It would solve the real-world problem that my proposed "<command line>" marker could in fact be a file name.
