Option to set name or print job_id only

[elbaro]

I want to spawn a few jobs with dependencies.
This is using bash regex:

out=$(pueue add -- echo 123)
[[ $out =~ .+id[[:space:]](.+)\).+ ]]
job_id=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
pueue add --after $job_id -- echo 456

Describe the solution you'd like

with --name

pueue add --name job1 -- echo 123
pueue add --after job1 -- echo 456

with --print-job-id

job_id=$(pueue add --print-job-id -- echo 123)
pueue add --after $job_id -- echo 456

Hm. I see how using dependencies can be annoying when scripting stuff.

In my opinion, the --print-task-id flag is the more elegant solution, since it solves the problem just as well and doesn't need an additional field on the task or column in the status overview. This should be implemented in a few minutes :D

Thanks, that was fast.
In fact I found --name is useful for other reasons. I will create a separate issue for this.
