CLI: discuss name

See original GitHub issue

Can we have a bikeshedding discussion for the CLI name? ATM it’s qs and I’m not sure there are good reasons for not calling it q instead.

At least in UNIX there are no q command by default. And qs it not more intuitive to come up with (and justify) than q. I didn’t even realise it was a contraction of QuarkuS until it was pointed out, so not obvious at all.

I would use quarkus. It is easy to add an alias named q or qs if desired.

quarkus it is for docs/documentation it is much simpler. we can have the installer(s) add a q alias in the environments that supports it.
