Jeff,
I'm new to samba and this environment but when I was looking at 
samba-tool and evaluating
the externals, I noticed that the help on this command already says "add 
- create a new user".
Create makes more sense to me; add sounds like it already exists and 
adding it to a group,
for instance opposite of removemembers is addmembers.

I proposed changing add to create to make it consistent with other 
samba-tool functions; I guess
I realized that its not necessarily consistent with the net command.

For now I keep add as an alias for ease with transition.
