Make arguments user-friendly and type friendly

With ver 0.9 arguments to launch WT has been introduced. This is really a good feature addition.
However I find that the arguments are very linux like and unfriendly to new users:

please refer Ned Pyle:

and Cinnamon examples:
wt -p "Windows PowerShell" -d . ; split-pane -V wsl.exe

wt -d C:\Users\cinnamon\GitHub\WindowsTerminal ; split-pane -p "Command Prompt" ; split-pane -p "Ubuntu" -d \wsl$\Ubuntu\home\cinnak -H

I do not feel this is userfriendly. Not everyone that want to replace cmd and powershell with a modern terminal is a dev

implement arguments that allow both written and readable and shortened args example, which exlcude using ambigous args

examples
-r or -run
-l or -list
