Well, you could have both.  For example, you could have the -e switch
to umount which performs the eject function.  In addition, you could
have "eject" as a link to umount, and umount itself would check
argv[0] to see if it is being executed as eject or umount.  If it's
eject instead of umount, then perform whatever action the -e flag
does.
