Certainly I've long wanted better aliases for virsh commands.

This should be discussed on libvir-list.  I suggest sending patches
there instead of here.

There was some discussion about 4-8 months ago about this subject.  It
might be a good idea to search the archives and familiarize yourself
with that first.

We can't remove the existing commands, and we should be careful about
aliases which might clash with future commands.  Something to think
about ...
