I do not have this problem with Conda, just with Mamba

Describe your issue

mamba uninstall is supposed to be an alias for mamba remove:

But it's not recognized as such by the latest version (2.0.4):

(base) (main)longs[setup]> mamba --version
2.0.4
(base) (main)longs[setup]> mamba uninstall jupytext
The following arguments were not expected: jupytext uninstall
Run with --help for more information.
(base) (main)longs[setup]> mamba remove jupytext

[... WORKS FINE...]

This used to work until pretty recently, as that's always been the command I used. While remove is nice and maybe shorter, since many other package managers use uninstall as their default command, it's burned in my muscle memory. I think compatibility with this alias should be maintained, not only to avoid breaking user muscle memory, but more importantly, potential automated scripts and pipelines that rely on it.
