Description

I've been using power-shell to mount and dismount VHDs with the appropriately named cmdlet's "mount-vhd" and "dismount-vhd".

Every time I try to dismount a mounted GVFS repo, I type "gvfs dismount" because, well, I speak English.

Can we please PLEASE add gvfs dismount?

Research direction

Start by locating the CLI entry point that handles the existing "unmount" command. Add "dismount" as an alias without changing the existing command, then verify that gvfs dismount reaches the same behavior as gvfs unmount.
