Just by the way, Bill Fumerola convinced me that an about-face on this
one may be in order.  His point was that df(1) isn't _only_ used to
detect shortages, but can also be used for usage reports.

Whether or not the option is justified is still unclear to me, but the
point is that there's enough doubt for me to feel that I should retract
my objection, for whatever it was worth. :-)

Ciao,
