I mean "machine" will still be the server name but VM will also pass an
optional (account "xyz") query parameter to
auth-source-user-or-password, which will find "account xyz" in the netrc
file.

I'll add another optional parameter QUERIES to
auth-source-user-or-password.  It will be an alist.  When a query is not
specified you'd still get the first match (thus it's backwards
compatible).  Does all that sound reasonable?

Sorry, I made a mistake, just see auth-source-user-or-password.
auth-source-pick deals with auth-source backends, which VM doesn't care
about.
