Description

It's not fun from a usability point of view.

NOTE: This may be challenging, and require intercepting "kubectl" as a subcommand before Cobra gets it's hands on it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how kubectl parses flags and explore intercepting the kubectl subcommand before Cobra processes it. Look at the minikube codebase for similar patterns.
