Hi,
i often stumble about generation related short-options being mixed lower
and upper-case:
-l, --list-generations[=PATTERN]
-d, --delete-generations[=PATTERN]
-S, --switch-generation=PATTERN
I would prefer to have them consistent, so they are easier to remember.
Since interface design suggests more common options to be more easier to
type, which (means lower-case), I propose changing -l and -d to uppercase:
-L, --list-generations[=PATTERN]
-D, --delete-generations[=PATTERN]
-S, --switch-generation=PATTERN
But this conflicts with
-L, --load-path=DIR prepend DIR to the package module search path
and with guix gc:
-d, --delete-generations[=PATTERN]
-D, --delete attempt to delete PATHS
Any ideas?
