NACK.  We already have the practice of omitting the I<--command>
argument for a command where the string is recognized purely by position
(where the --option is optional).  For example, look at 'virsh suspend',
where <domain> is required (that is, where 'suspend --domain xyz' is
equivalent to 'suspend xyz'):

=item B<suspend> I<domain-id>

Note that the virsh.pod is spelled domain-id, even though the optional
option is only spelled --domain, so we already have precedence for using
a longer, more-descriptive string in the man page than what you get for
'virsh help suspend'.

I don't think we need to make any further tweaks to virsh.pod for this
issue.
