Then, after a qemu-cmd is introduced, we should mark the user monitor deprecated
along with a specific date/release its future for removal.
I'm not sure. The human monitor has some features that are not
appropriate for QMP. For instance, the ability to deal with formula
input and some commands meant to add debugging.
I guess you could do that in qemu-cmd but I don't see a compelling
reason to.
