Is it possible or recommended to group Laravel commands into nested groups?

Question

We see Laravel's artisan commands in the typical format of <module>:<action>, so there's...

php artisan migrate:refresh
php artisan cache:clear
// etc.

Third party packages add their vendor name in there, so we get...

php artisan l5-swagger:generate

While that may work for specific packages, what if I want to namespace my application's native commands under the project name as well as the module name? Something along the lines of this:

php artisan myapp:auth:create-admin

As opposed to simply

php artisan myapp:create-admin
// OR
php artisan auth:create-admin

Or maybe I want to go crazy and include my vendor name in there too:

php artisan myname:myapp:auth:create-admin

That's a crazy example, but the simple, one extra level of namespacing will certainly help organizing commands and keeping things looking clean.

Are there any such commands already out there? Is it possible to do this in a manner similar to grouping routes?

I want to avoid creating a "super command" that has sub-commands, something like:

php artisan myapp:command Auth CreateAdmin

And you command can be configure by $signature attribute :

namespace App\Console\Commands\Editor;

use Illuminate\Console\Command;

class CreateCommand extends Command
{
    /**
     * The name and signature of the console command.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $signature = 'ps4:editor:create {foo}';
}
