Yes, but since there are, would it not stand to reason that mount_ufs
should contain the UFS smarts so that mount turns into nothing more
than a "switch" for which you say say that the rule is always:

	1. In the absence of -t, type ufs is assumed.
	2. For any value of type, mount_$type exists.

?

Sorry, but it just seems more orthogonal to me. ;)
