N: Add support for lts version name i.e. "argon" or "latest-argon"

[mafischer]

Now that each lts branch is named, it would be nice to install them by their names i.e. n argon or n boron.

https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-boron/

This looks doable but the problem we will have with that is when whatever c is going to be named if we don't regex it. I am working on a way to include release candidate as well so this may go along with that milestone.

Is there any update on this? Not lts/carbon is out it would be nice to run my version of node off my .nvmrc with both n and nvm

Working on this.

I don't understand the comment about "run my version of node off my .nvmrc with both n and nvm".

How is .nvmrc being used with n? Custom script or alias perhaps?

[shadowspawn]

I have added support for the node codenames in nvh. It will be a while before it gets considered for n, and if readers give it a try in nvh then I am interested in feedback about how useful it is in practice.
