If you're rewriting Pacman on Arch in Rust, can you please also make it so that understands common package management syntax?
You know, human-like commands like "install", "update" and "upgrade". The fact that you have to remember some kind of -S -Sy -Syuu arcane magic in order to use it is kinda pissing me off, to be honest.
