I'd like to have this, too.
I thought about a more generic way: You can already abbreviate long
options by only typing enough characters so it is unambiguous, maybe
this should be added for commands, too.
A possible counter-argument is that when adding new commands we
should be careful not to break commonly used abbreviations, e.g. by
adding the 'hg strip' command.
But as this would not only break above, but tab-completion, too, I
think we will need the 'st' alias anyway.
