HI,
John Kehayias <john.kehayias@protonmail.com> skribis:
> As one who also would like a shorter syntax option, here's a quick thought: what about a short version of what we have for when there is only one package given or it can be applied to all packages/be a positional argument? An example is perhaps best, so what if we could write:
