Well, I’m trying to keep consistency with the upcoming powershell interface for 
coapp (so that the command lines are equivalent).

Like I said, I also want to include a ‘short’ interface that has 
dash-plus-single-letter shortcuts for everything.

Why can't install just be install? Repeating package in so many commands seems 
both verbose, redundant and inconsistent with apt and yum.

Hopefully this will be a bit more consistent in usage than the old one.

I’m also entertaining ideas for a ‘short’ interface (ie, using short switches 
instead of full words).

coapp -i firefox

coapp -r firefox-1.*
