      Context

      The wt utility currently has no way to drive a single page read through a registered WT_PAGE_LOG extension. 

      Motivation

      Forensic and inspection workflows against a live page server need a command that returns the bytes or decoded page for (table_id, page_id, lsn). This could be helpful for fetching individual pages from the page server that are relevant to the investigation without having to dump a whole b-tree.

      Suggestion

      Consider options that could be reused from the wt dump command.
