function Stop-AzureVm {
# Supply a VM name (or an unambiguous part of it), stop, and deallocate the machine.
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Stop **and** deallocate an Azure VM whose name contains the input string.
.DESCRIPTION
If we can unambiguously determine a single VM name inside the subscription
we are logged into through the input string, we will stop and deallocate
the machine.
This function was built as we want to have terse input and we do not want to
be billed for machines we stop, the latter requiring two actual commands.
.INPUTS
String. The names or unambiguous parts of the names of the VMs we intend to
stop and deallocate.
.OUTPUTS
String. Status messages and the actual AzureCLI outputs.

# Sometimes az vm stop bugs out (it's Microsoft _and_ Azure, no surprises here) - so

# Also, maybe it's not AzureCLI entirely:
# "When an application prints to standard error, PowerShell will sometimes conclude that
# application has failed. This is actually a design decision made by PowerShell developers.
# IMHO, this is a mistake, because many reliable applications (such as curl) print useful
# information to standard error in the course of normal operation. The consequence is that
# PowerShell only plays well with other PowerShell scripts and can't be relied on to
# interoperate with other applications. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/11826589)
# Point of notice: it might be the warning(!) issued by az vm stop about a necessary deallocation.
# POWERSHELL IS SO WELL DEVELOPED [1001]
# Let's do both - Error handling and redirecting stderr to stdout. PS is chaos, face it with chaos.
# TODO: Maybe the ErrorActionPreference has to be around the $jobs call? (Still due to
# the reasons mentioned above.)
