I agree, (note: it has been changed to setupFlags, but it is the same more
or less)

The other solution would be to have a ui less shell, but I think it would be
a bit of a mess since we would need then to have the double of plugins (if i
am correct), one for each shell which is not a good idea either.

But anyway my idea was to leverage the more possible the shell when working
without UI.
