If this is pursued, it'd be handy if it showed the URL as well.

the conduit call is already there, so you can do something like

$ arc alias whoami '!echo {} | arc call-conduit user.whoami | python -m json.tool'

$ arc whoami
{
    "error": null,
    "errorMessage": null,
    "response": {
        "image": "https://secure.phabricator.com/file/data/ll44rp735qbetkcwgizb/PHID-FILE-n4yrskvijktb4pz5duqr/facebook-profile.jpg",
        "phid": "PHID-USER-lgbuqrsim4oysksuxv5b",
        "realName": "Aviv Eyal",
        "roles": [
            "verified"
        ],
        "uri": "https://secure.phabricator.com/p/avivey/",
        "userName": "avivey"
    }
}

or if you have something like jkid installed:

$ arc alias whoami '!echo {} | arc call-conduit user.whoami | jkid -q response realName'

$ arc whoami
"Aviv Eyal"

(this is not a vote on the need to add it as a built-in, just a hint on addressing the immediate issue)

See discussion in D7358. We might implement this eventually, but I'd like to see a stronger and more concrete need for it which isn't reasonably resolvable via Conduit.
