mysqladm is dangerously close to mysqladmin. I almost even confused myself. How can we expect the users to know the difference then?

`mysqladm` is dangerously close to [`mysqladmin`](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/mysqladmin.html). I almost even confused myself. How can we expect the users to know the difference then?

dbadm might be a good abstraction?
That is already the name of a permission grant in SQL, but not of any binaries that I know.

After some much needed good nights sleep, I think maybe myctl would be a good contender.

no name clashing with any of the mysql* commands
it's short and easy to write
doesn't contain the words db and user, ensuring people don't thing it's only for one of them
(I was earlier considering adding the word user to imply that it's a tool for non-admins to do admin stuff)
somehow feels a bit modern, maybe piggybacking off systemd's *ctl commands
there's only this one old bash wrapper thing that used the name before https://github.com/thrix/myctl, seemingly with the same intended functionality.

It might lose a bit of discoverability not containing the word "mysql", but I think the positives outweigh the negatives.

small status update, after some surprisingly heated discussion (I initially thought this would be unanimously clearcut), we at least came to the conclusion that mgr or man was a better suffix. However, no final name has been decided yet.
