But virsh _already_ handles all named arguments in any order.  That is,

screenshot --screen 1 myguest imagefile.png
screenshot myguest imagefile.png 1

are identical, at least with the above opts_screenshot (thanks to commit
b9973f5).

Optional filename, however, _does_ make sense, which is not covered in
the above opts_screenshot.
