Dismount volume ALL - Add extra functionality

In a environment with a lot of tapedrives (VTL) sometimes you want to dismount ALL the volumes at once. We use TSM Library Managers for VTL's > 256 drives. Each time you have to wait a couple of minutes (devclass - mountret) before al volumes are dismounted. Now we use a simple script but it should be standard functionality.

Extend the already existing command "dismount vol" with
dismount vol ALL or a wildcard.

Other examples
dismount vol XXX*
dismount vol *L3

Every library use his own volumerange using a wildcard you can dismount only volumes from a specific range / library.

Perhaps adding a preview option is also possible.
dismount vol *L3 preview=yes
