pmatilai created an issue (rpm-software-management/rpm#3653)
Rpm is so old, maybe the notion of real sub-commands hadn't been invented yet
back then. But most of our executables are actually divided into several
distinct sub-commands that are now denoted by a command-line switch instead,
such as `-i` for install. The modern way of doing this is having subcommands
instead:
```
rpm -i foo.rpm
rpm install foo.rpm
```
We absolutely cannot break the existing command line switches, but it should be
possible to support both styles side-by-side. And then we could split the man
pages accordingly: rpm-install(8), rpm-erase(8) etc.
