I can't remember if I said this already, but...

If you look at gcore.c, you'll see that the actual name of the command
is "generate-core-file".  Then it's aliased to the shorter "gcore".

That's what I had in mind here.  A long-but-descriptive form
(which perhaps no one will ever type), and one or more short
forms such as rcontinue and rc.
