Feature idea

cli53 version (cli53 --version)

cli53 version 0.8.10

I would find it helpful to have an option for cli53 to just exit if a zone already exists with the same name. It would make it easy to re-run a command to ensure the domain is there without having to have some other logic to manually check.

Sticking to the unix philosophy, I would use cli53 list and grep. Not sure this warrants a whole new command.

I was thinking more of just a flag to the create command so it skips creating if it exists.

Ended up doing something like this:

if ! cli53 export $domain > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
    cli53 create $domain
fi

I see - it is perfectly valid to create multiple domains for the same domain name (you may have a private and public one, for instance). I think given you can achieve it at least a couple of different ways, I wouldn't consider adding this.
