I don't think this is a good idea. vlan has been the option name for a
long time and changing it now will lead to quite a lot of confusion. I
agree that it's not perhaps the best name but it's too late now to
change it.
Documentation improvement is always welcome though. If you think the
default help output or man pages can be clarified to make this more
clear, that's certainly a reasonable thing to do.
