Now, now.

If you were to test a new filesystem, say, wonderfulfs, and wanted to 
check its integrity, would you not just run "fsck-wonderfulfs" if that 
exists, rather than reading the fantamagastic manual?  Would you not 
expect that it Does The Right Thing?  Would you not expect that it 
follows the Law Of Minimal Surprise?

So FWIW I can see where Sergio is coming from.

Ciao,
