Thanks for the review @kevinjwalls . I did a consistency sweep over the VM subcommands and changed a lot of `Prints` to `Print` so the manpage matches the help text. Which form is better grammatically I'm not sure, but if we want to change things we should do that for the help text and manpage at the same time.
