[maintainer-tools RFC PATCH 00/17] dim: function based subcommand handling

[Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>]

I propose to change the dim tool to handle subcommands via functions
matching the subcommand. Each 'dim sub-command' would be handled by a
function named dim_sub_command. Only functions handling subcommands
would have the dim_ prefix.

Patches 1-11 are mostly renames to follow the proposed naming scheme.

Patch 12 separates handling of aliases to an independent piece of code.

Patch 13 actually starts handling subcommands via the defined
functions. Some of the benefits of the approach are covered in the
commit message.

Patches 14-17 starts abstracting subcommand cases to functions. This is
mostly mechanical work, and I didn't bother with it until I get an ack
on the approach.

I've only tested this lightly, thus RFC.

BR,
Jani.
