Yeah, I know exactly where you are coming from. I struggled with this
for the whole API, since I really liked that fact that everything was
prefixed by virDomainSnaphot... The one advantage to "revert-to-snapshot"
is that it's a little clearer that this is a command that operates on
a domain instead of on a snapshot, but it's pretty minor.
I'm happy to go either way; I guess if we want, we can actually
have both :).
