Description

Our current command argument handing does its best to convert the name into a more human-readable title. This works ok but is sometimes confusing for users when our attempt at capitalization results in incorrect acronym names and the like.

E.g., psu_status -> Psu Status

We should consider alternative ways of handling the argument name and formatting. Maybe doing nothing with the name is cleaner? Or just replace _ with spaces?

No file, test, or entry point is named. Locate the command-argument title formatting and inspect how psu_status becomes Psu Status; clarify whether names should remain unchanged or only replace underscores before implementing the agreed behavior and adding coverage for acronym-like names.
