Well, sort of not really.  The thing is, I could definitely do half
of what I needed to do with a PRINT statement, but if I want to do
anything with that return value, I need to trap STDOUT (I'm working
in Perl, btw), and then read the value in, etc.  The other major
caveat is that I don't really want to generate the graph, I just
want the data results.

What I'd really like is to be able to get a data return like RRD
fetch gives you, but rather than getting a table/listing of DS
values at each interval, get a listing of DEF and CDEF values at
each interval, as well as be able to get AVG, MIN, MAX, etc.

Basically, I want fetch-like capabilities on data generated by
graph-like arguments.
