Description
Quality of life suggestion.
Example if I run:
oci os bucket list --compartment-id --namespace-name
I would prefer to be able to run:
oci os bucket list --compartment --namespace-name
The UI has a tendency to report the compartment name.
This affects a number of areas / commands.
There does not seem to be any way to achieve this with CLI version 2.4.27 apart from pulling the compartment IDs using "iam compartment list".
Thanks for considering

Research direction
Start by tracing the CLI handling for oci os bucket list and the existing --compartment-id option, then compare it with the iam compartment list command mentioned in the issue. Check how commands across the affected areas resolve compartment identifiers. Done means a short compartment name can be accepted in place of an ID wherever this request applies, with existing ID usage preserved.
