Most commands operate on a specific node basedir, so making --basedir a global option would add consistency.

As it is, some commands, such as create-alias do not support a basedir other than the default.

If users want the cli to be strict/pedantic, subcommands which do not rely on --basedir might issue a warning when it is set. Otherwise ignoring it seems safe.

(Update: we actually changed -d/--node-directory to be the global option.)

#715 has a patch for this ticket. The unified option is spelled -d or --node-directory.
