+madonctl 2.3.0+ is able to recognize the kind of argument to specify and to
+use the relevant API calls, so the previous commands could be written as:
+``` sh
+% madonctl account follow 1234
+% madonctl account follow Gargron@mastodon.social
+% madonctl account follow https://mastodon.social/@Gargron
+```
+
+Note: If you know the numeric account ID, you should use it to save extra API
+calls.

+With madonctl 2.3.0+, you can use the shorter forms:
+``` sh
+% madonctl account statuses -l5 Gargron@mastodon.social
+% madonctl account statuses -l5 https://mastodon.social/@Gargron
+% madonctl account statuses -l5 1 # (account ID)

Please note that the form "Gargron@mastodon.social" will only work if this
account is known by the instance. If it is unknown, the https link should work
(and the Mastodon server will learn about the account).
