Specifying an ID is valid only if you want to start an existing VM. You cannot create new VMs using a numerical name, that is an ID. This limitation is the point I wanted to clarify in the first place.
Without the separate paragraph, this information is lost and `id | name' could just be `id' again. But as shown in one of my previous mails, something like `vmctl start 60 ...' to create a new VM called "60" is not possible and leads to non-obvious errors, hence my attempt to differentiate between those cases. > just document "name" and "id" as normal arguments.
