Easy way to set volume from command line

It often happens that I want to quickly change volume from command line.

Obligatory XKCD

Sadly, this is a true story. At least I learned about the OS X 'say' command.

With PulseAudio, the magic incantation was pactl set-sink-volume 0 70%.

I'm sure there's some way of doing this with PipeWire too, perhaps by altering some properties of some sink device. But could there be a simple utility just for this?

Perhaps something like this:

$ pw-volume
Speakers: 80%
$ pw-volume 70%
