Thanks for the suggestion, but that hyphen makes the command name more
readable.  Removing it would break scripts using the hyphen, and adding
an alias would seem to be unwarranted complication for minimal benefit.

Besides, how often do you type commands to parted?
If you find yourself doing it a lot, I would suggest
that you script it, if only to decrease possibility of error.
