The problem was with the "auth" toplevel command not having subcommands. I don't think there are going to be any problems with subcommands. Also there are many commands already that take <user> without the -u parameter. Actually it's only the "mail commands" that take -u parameter at all.

Another potential problem is "doveadm user" command. I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to move it to "doveadm auth user" or "doveadm auth userdb" command. There should be also a similar "doveadm auth passdb" command that does a passdb lookup without authentication.
