NB am not disputing the facts:

Coincidentally, not long after this list-conversation, I was asked to 
take a look at a command-line program(me) which was not accepting 
arguments per spec.

First, I dived into the PSL to refresh my memory. There we find all 
manner of 'goodies' for formatting the cmdLN I/P, selecting its type, 
defaults, etc, etc.

Why do we have this at the cmdLN and yet not have something similar for 
input?

Perhaps there is a small library available (that I've never gone looking 
to find) which wraps input() and facilitates the input of int[egers], 
for example?

What the OP asks is not really 'out there', we used FORMAT to type INPUT 
data in FORTRAN, back in the ?good old days!
(don't over-excite me or I'll threaten you with my walking-stick...)
