(Worth noting up -n should just be the default, and exec -it will probably be a dedicated command that implies -it instead of exec. Just didn't have better examples ready.)

what flags are candidates to have a short version at the moment?

dagger up used to have -n, not sure if that survived the transition to the new CLI, or if has been made the default already

I think it's very clear how it would be implemented (pragmas+annotations in SDKs, Field setting in dagql, etc.) and would just amount to a lot of plumbing. I just think it's a situation where we should wait to see if the need really arises strongly in practice. Otherwise we're layering on more maintainance burden. Not so much to inherently rule it out, but enough that the cost should be justified. IMO.

Can adjust the defaults too of course

Tempting to just cheat and take the first letter of each arg, but there are probably too many places where it's ambiguous

#

So yeah if it involves a lot of plumbing I think we'd need a really strong need, I'm good with keeping a high bar and seeing what flags hurt to use all the time first (if any)

Right now, export --path for a Directory, for example, has short form of -o, right?
