Sure, but there are other monitor commands, and sub-options to those
commands, which come and go depending on QEMU version and development
branch. It would be good to describe those in a capabilities section,
as the only other option is trying the commands and discovering if
sub-options are supported that way. It's possible to send TAB to the
monitor to get the output of command line completions sometimes, but
that's quite an ugly thing for a management tool to have to do.
