    Good point -- parsing a command could be difficult if a node name included
    a space or colon. As a simple convention, let's let names include
    alphanumeric characters, dash, and underscore. IIRC, you can match this
    using the pattern [\w-_]+ -- please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Cheers,
