It's actually very much *like* Git, which has both day-to-day commands
(the "porcelain") as well as advanced admin and low-level manipulation
commands ("plumbing") under the same 'wrapper'. How often do you use
"git symbolic-ref"?

Although I don't have a strong opinion on "journalctl" vs "syd
journal" and the like... consistency is good, but users already know
the existing commands.

Maybe `syd` should first be written as a plain 'sh' script that wraps
the existing commands, just to see which one users prefer.
