Thank you.

1. In its early development, `x-cmd` was designed to integrate its modules directly into the shell's namespace. This approach meant that common commands, such as `ping`, could potentially be overridden to run `x ping`, leading to conflicts and behavior. 2. Recognizing these potential issues, we decided to retain the `x` prefix for all `x-cmd` commands. This ensures clarity and prevents namespace pollution. The `x` is intentionally short and acts as a dedicated namespace for `x-cmd`'s features.

I think this will provide a kind of flexibility for our users. Users could try something new or interesting using x-cmd script. But if these sripts fail, users could alway return to the mature original command and finish the tasks.

Future versions of `x-cmd` will introduce a comprehensive cross-shell shortcut configuration system, empowering users to easily manage their personalized command shortcuts.
