Good idea, this could be clearer.

If you want to expand this: 
Elsewhere for ThreadDumpToFileDCmd we say:
"Dump threads, with stack traces, to a file in plain text or JSON format."
We could add on: "Includes virtual threads." or add in that fact somehow.

There's also a man page ./src/jdk.jcmd/share/man/jcmd.md where we have the same text for both commands.  8-)
