I’m about to deprecate a library [netglue/laminas-symfony-console](https://github.com/netglue/laminas-symfony-console) that laminas-cli makes obsolete 😉

One feature this lib has that might be useful is to automatically configure the container to use Invokable Factory for commands that lack a factory definition.

The [gist of it is here](https://github.com/netglue/laminas-symfony-console/blob/master/src/Container/ContainerCommandLoaderFactory.php).

As you’ll see, that feature depends on ServiceManager as the container, which made sense in my own lib because that’s what I use routinely, however, I’m not very familiar with other DI containers supported by Mezzio, hence the RFC. 😃

I like this idea; there are a number of commands we provide ourselves that really do not require a factory.

We could likely handle this by doing a `has()` call before attempting a `get()`, and then directly instantiating the command if `has()` fails.

I’ve created an [issue to track this](https://github.com/laminas/laminas-cli/issues/33).
