 Would be great if python-stem's existing {{{tor-prompt}}} linux command
 line tool could be enhanced so it could replace [https://github.com/Whonix
 /tor-ctrl/blob/master/usr/bin/tor-ctrl tor-ctrl].

 * not show the help "Welcome to Stem's interpreter prompt. This...",
 perhaps with a --no-help or --cli parameter?
 * using it in a pipe

 {{{
 echo signal newnym | tor-prompt --cli
 }}}

 {{{250 OK}}}

 Or.

 {{{
 echo signal newnym | tor-cli
 }}}

 {{{250 OK}}}
