Yes.

Is this present already? I would like to enable easy support for this in 
Buckminster. I already have headless commands for defining and importing 
target definitions, but so far, nothing for the API baselines. Ideally, 
I'd like to add a command saying "make this TP the workspace baseline".

Pointers to relevant code would be very helpful. Nonofficial is OK :-)
