Thanks for this change!
Overall I like it. I wish we didn't have to hack in the Cobra API like that, but oh well.
I made many suggestions regarding short flags. I lean toward what you suggested: let's start with fewer short flags, until we determine where additional ones would be useful. I suggested removing them on the less-common flags, or ones where there was a difficult conflict and where I could see multiple different letters being good options, or where a clear choice wasn't obvious.
Hope that's OK. Let me know what you think!

We've had Cobra in for a few versions now, and it's worked pretty well. Now, it's time to make it possible to use more of its features.
For that, I'm adding a new CobraFunc field to
caddycmd.Commandwhich allows configuring the command using the full power of Cobra's APIs while keeping backwards compatibility and ergonomics of ourRegisterCommandsetup.In addition, I ported every built-in command to use this new API (making sure commands still worked after the first commit), and added shorthands for most flags. Some of them are a bit funky due to the english language only having so many letters in the alphabet, but I think it should be reasonable. Let me know if you find any of them too weird. We could also just play it safe and enable less shorthands to start, not to paint ourselves into a corner with exhausting letters ahead of time 😂
