 Not sure if this is the right place, however...

 The following command needs an option that eliminates the ASCII graphics,
 such as a --porcelain option, and/or --field option (singular).  Only
 --fields (plural) is valid and brings the graphics with it. --format=ids
 is also missing/broken.

 In short, in the following example, I need the output of the wp post meta
 list to be "168", without quotes - nothing more, nothing less.


 {{{
 wp post meta list 203 --keys=_thumbnail_id --field=meta_value
 Error: Parameter errors:
  unknown --field parameter
 Did you mean '--fields'?

 wp post meta list 203 --keys=_thumbnail_id --fields=meta_value
 +------------+
 | meta_value |
 +------------+
 | 168        |
 +------------+

 wp post meta list 203 --keys=_thumbnail_id --fields=meta_value
 --format=ids
