The -p flags are really neat for editing privs in batch. But they are not particularly friendly to write. The current "solution" to this is to let you specify the database first, and some minified flags.

How about we instead let you edit privs with arguments only as the human-friendly way, and full -p flags only for the batch friendly way?

muscl edit-privs # opens the editor
muscl edit-privs -p db:user:privs -p db:user:privs # batch
muscl editprivs db user privs # human friendly

The `-p` flags are really neat for editing privs in batch. But they are not particularly friendly to write. The current "solution" to this is to let you specify the database first, and some minified flags. How about we instead let you edit privs with arguments only as the human-friendly way, and full `-p` flags only for the batch friendly way? ```bash muscl edit-privs # opens the editor muscl edit-privs -p db:user:privs -p db:user:privs # batch muscl editprivs db user privs # human friendly ```
