I agree with the review feedback so far, it's a good proposal. But just as David mentioned, I think a `spm` command, which would just be an alias for `swift package` would work really well. `spm build`, `spm test` all feel very in line with existing tools like gem, npm, pod etc. I think those ~3 letter commands are very short for a good reason. And with the entrance of Swift on the server, having to write `swift package X` right next to the rest of the "3-letter" tools could feel like an oversight.
I absolutely agree that for the sake of discoverability and clarity, the `swift package` command should be the canonical way. And in addition to that, I suggest we add `spm` to better fit into the CLI-driven world and save people quite lot of typing.
