Hmmm... Interesting point. I like the convenience of a short name, but I
don't think it is worth the weirdness of adding a custom field to package.json
just for that. If I check this in, and people get used to it, they'll expect it
to be supported going forward.
So, here's a possible alternatively that will work now and in the future...
rather than supporting removing by name, we could support removing by a "short
id". That is - you could drop the `cordova-plugin-` from the start. So
`camera`, for example, would match `cordova-plugin-camera`. I think that makes
sense - having to specify `cordova-plugin-` is kinda superfluous. We should
support this shortcut when *adding* a plugin, too.
What do you think?

> It would be nice if we could remove plugins by short name. Things are better
> now with the new plugin ids - it's easier to remember and type {{cordova
> plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera}} than {{cordova plugin remove
> org.apache.cordova.camera}}, but it would be even nicer to only have to type
> {{cordova plugin remove camera}}.
> If multiple installed plugins happen to share the same short name, the remove
> command should probably just fail (with an informative error message).
