My concern is that making this change could break scripts that depend
on the old spelling.  Guannan mentioned to me that this error doesn't
arise when using virsh.  I don't have a strong opinion either way, but
I think if there's no danger of breaking existing code that depends on
the spelling then we should fix this, otherwise leave it as is.
