-Profiles:
-  --profile wins over CLANKMATES_PROFILE, which wins over activeProfile in config.
-  --base-url wins over CLANKMATES_BASE_URL, which wins over stored profile baseUrl.
-  config profile use <name> updates the config file.
-  --profile, CLANKMATES_PROFILE, and CLANKMATES_BASE_URL do not change config by themselves.
