Comment 2 for bug 1817684

I take back my suggestion about curling, as I think that it wouldn't be the common use case (though your debugging example or something like "... | tee /dev/tty | ..." don't seem hard-to-debug). I think it would be really useful to allow reading from stdin for the case of something like my first example, as it's really easy to debug something that's part of the command itself. That would also let it stick around in shell history, and for example I wouldn't come back to something a month after I initially figured it out and curse myself for deleting the overlay file in the meantime.

As an example of what I'm trying to avoid, Juju requires specifying each docker image in a separate file for local bundle deploys, and I've got several of these files littering a repo that I don't want to delete or move and just have to remember to avoid adding them to git, since they're only appropriate for local development (I could find ways of managing these files, but I'd really like to not have to manage them at all).
