Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist
apt-get <pckg> should automatically mean apt-get install <pckg>.
This seems to make sense to me. When I apt-get a package, I generally want
to get the package (hence apt-get).
Also, this allows removals of packages to be done easier, ie. apt-get
<pckg>-, etc.
I'm sure this wouldn't be hard to implement, and I'm sure it would be a good
thing.

This seems far too fragile and error-prone to implement.
Consider at least:
What if you want a package whose name is the same as an apt-get command?
If you mistype an apt-get command, rather than issuing an error, it would
attempt to install a package with that name.
