VBoxManage VM with same name in different groups

Description

In VBox GUI I can easily view and manage two different guests with the same name but are located in different groups:

Project-A -> DC

Project-B -> DC

However, when using 'VBoxManage list runningvms' for example, I just have two VMs called 'DC'. The only way to manage them is to use the UUIDs which is really awkward to use. In fact, I have to use 'showvminfo' just to work out which group each guest belongs to.

It would be easier if the group could be used as part of the VMNAME so that they can be referred to as follows in command line tools such as VBoxManage:

Project-A/DC

Project-B/DC

I know I could rename the guests to ProjA-DC and ProjB-DC or similar, but that defeats the object somewhat.
