I don't believe it's really an issue in practice, your `jc` alias will just take the priority and you can easily add one for jsonquery -> `path/to/bin/jc`. I think good short command names can help adoption (like for ripgrep, fd) but it's true that we should have a race to squat all the 2 letter names.

Instead of typing the whole path, you can also use `command` or a backslash to bypass aliases E.g.: alias jsonquery='command jq'

I perceive an element of hubris when a tool claims a two-character name. That is a very small namespace, so the tool is effectively staking a claim on mental or emotional real-estate.

Given this tool is likely to be used in a bunch of bash scripts, collisions with aliases can be a big problem.
