When describing a CLI command with `typer`, it might be more common to use unqualified names, especially when you are defining many command parameters and want to avoid repetitive typing.
The intent of `greetings.cli` is likely to preconfigure the `app` object, exportable it for reuse by others. Allowing `greetings.cli` to be runnable as a module didn't make much sense, because the `greetings` module itself is already runnable. Exporting the `main()` function and referencing it from the `pyproject.toml` is likely more common and concise than relying on the fact that the `app` object itself is callable.
Allowing `greetings.__main__` to be runnable as a module didn't make much sense, because the `greetings` module itself is already runnable due to the mere existence of the `__main__.py` file. Importing just the `main()` function is likely more common and concise than relying on the heavy-weight `app` object to be callable.
