That is the idea. I was hoping someone was willing to implement such 
central command.

Hmm, the commands are in the SEE ALSO section, maybe we can put them in 
a more adequate place ala git:

...

GIT COMMANDS
        We divide git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low 
level ("plumbing")
        commands.

HIGH-LEVEL COMMANDS (PORCELAIN)
        We separate the porcelain commands into the main commands and 
some ancillary user
        utilities.

    Main porcelain commands
        git-add(1)
            Add file contents to the index.

        git-am(1)
            Apply a series of patches from a mailbox.

        git-archive(1)
            Create an archive of files from a named tree.

etc ...
