Could we do something a bit more user friendly by allowing the
'snapshot' specification to be with the beName argument itself?
E.g.
beadm create -e origBE at yesterday newBE
Another useful syntax might be to allow the full dataset name to
be specified as the BeName argument:
beadm create -e rpool/ROOT/origBE newBE
because of the commonality with zfs(1M) arguments.
