console command feedback

I'd really like to see feedback both when console commands are invoked and also have a way to display its status.

First, if I am setting a console variable:
<b>r_atmospherics false</b>
It should show something like:
<b>r_atmospherics set to false</b>

That way, if I do something like this:
<b>r_atmospherics flase</b>
It would either show nothing (indicating that nothing happened), or (preferrably) show something like:
<b>r_atmospherics invalid value: "flase"</b>

Also, if I do something like this:
<b>r_atmospherics</b>
What is it doing? Enabling it? Toggling it? Whatever the case, the console should give feedback.

Second, I'd also like to see a standard method of displaying the value of an existing field.
So, something like:
<b>show r_atmospherics</b>
or
<b>r_atmospherics show</b>
Would display something like:
<b>r_atmospherics is true</b>

Third, even if I am not setting a variable, but rather am performing an action with a console command, it should also give feedback:
<b>rr</b>
Would display something like:
<b>Sending player to readyroom</b>

    +1, but I doubt this is high on the priorities list

    I'd also like to see the console giving syntax help when typing in commands/functions, i.e.
    > r_aa
    > <b>r_aa true/false</b>
