Missing Command/Alias: "unisntall"

[dccampbell]

Example:
npm isntall <pkg>
npm unisntall <pkg>

Result:
Package is installed, but not uninstalled. unisntall is an unknown command (returns npm help).

Expected Result:
The given package is installed and uninstalled. Alternatively, both lines fail and suggest how to spell the rather common commands properly (maybe w/ just a bit of snark for flavor).

I have mistyped "isntall" on many occasions, as I install packages all the time. I have never, to the best of my knowledge, ever even tried to type "unisntall". It's possible that someday we'll remove "isntall", but "unisntall" isn't happening.

That's the proper solution I was alluding to by way of pointing out the absurd.

You'll take isntall from my cold dead hands.

Never. That stays.

Put in less "dramatic" terms, the "voice" and character of the npm client is that it should always be helpful, as un-snarky as possible, and prioritize real human needs and enjoyment above an arbitrary commitment to symmetry.

Since people don't tend to mistype uninstall as unisntall (especially when rm is a much more commonly used alias), there's no need to support it, symmetry be damned.

Removing isntall -- or worse, replacing it with a Erm, so, I believe you meant "install", perhaps if you invest in a typing tutor, preferably using a proper keyboard such as dvorak, you'd avoid such foolish errors type of message -- is contrary to the spirit and voice of the npm client. It is a loving being who endeavors to be as helpful and friendly as possible. If it knows what you mean, it'll just do what you wanted.

You can't damn symmetry without it damning you back. 😏

And Dvorak is soooo 1930's. All the cool kids use Colemak or Workman. 😎

How about adding "instlal" and "uninstlal" - I misspell it often that way? Please?

Could train yourself to spell install as i and uninstall as rm.

i will start typing isntall on purpose from now on
i hope one day install will be autocorrecting alias to the actual command isntall
