Is it worth reserving space for a future Git or Github-cli style plugin
mechanism where third party tools can extend the `gdal` CLI? eg: `gdal
raster from-contours`

   - `git foo` simply looks for internal code first, then executes
   `git-foo` if it's present, then expands any configured command aliases
   - Github cli has an explicit extension install/packaging mechanism:
   https://docs.github.com/en/github-cli/github-cli/creating-github-cli-extensions
