I strongly vote for verb object in such computer script languages.

This works well also where there are more than one main parameter 
too, as that can get confusing otherwise. Its also the way most 
commands already are.

There are just a few hyphenated commands as you say.  I spotted 
delete-region and remove-region

command-script is an odd on as really its just run <script>  script 
<script>  or command <script> ? But its one I always seem to get 
wrong.  Leaving in a few problematic ones with hyphen and non-hyphen 
versions, but making the help text and documentation give the 
definitive one to move forward with might be an approach?
