Add command shortcuts #34

I think it would be nice if the query and lookup commands had the respective shorthands q and l. Similarly to how you can type cargo c instead of cargo check for example.

That’s indeed something that would be nice to have. Thank you for the suggestion!

We were also thinking to add a facility so that dnsi checks what it was called at and if it is, e.g., dq, it runs the query command. Then you can just symlink it to dq if you want to – we can add that by default in our binary packages as well.

That's an interesting idea. I wonder, would this be compatible with the cargo install installation method? I'm not sure, but if not, it would be nice to also have the subcommand shorthands to make up for the lack of dq and dl in that case

I don’ t think cargo install can make symlinks.

We would indeed provide both.
