Ages ago I thought it would be a good idea to have a command which
allowed one to search the dx database by country, regardless of actual
prefix. The idea being that W and K plus all their variants are actually
the same country really and coping with all the possibilities was quite
difficult.
So I invented sh/dxcc which is like sh/dx but the output is different
(and potentially more useful), viz:
sh/dxcc w on 6m
Prefix: W Dxcc: 226 (United-States-W)

As you can see there is different output.
My question is this: is there any need for a different command given
that I can now tell, reasonably reliably, the difference between a
callsign and a prefix (and can include syntax like 'W*' to mean W only).
What would be the consequences of me amalgamating these two commands (as
an aside, I see little evidence of anyone actually using sh/dxcc here).
So that sh/dx w means sh/dx w,k,etc etc
sh/dx w* means only prefix w
