Any ideas on how we can actually implement this and also people may not even 
remember the names of these args and they may want autocompletion for that as 
well? Right now with autocompletion enabled (set paramcompletion true), one can 
easily tab tab on an arg that is of uuid, boolean (and a special case account 
param) type and cloudmonkey lists uuids with names so one can pick a uuid for a 
suitable name.

If we want to do autocompletion of names and which then translate to uuids is 
sort of doable but it will require a lot of background list API calls and a 
translation layer which can slow down cloudmonkey, and there is a corner case 
that an entity got removed and the name to uuid translation layer in 
cloudmonkey won’t know which uuid to pick and fail (few people may find it 
alright).
