Considering what you wrote, I don't see any substantial benefit of supporting
+t flags in the "main" filesystem when you have "other" at your disposal.  Has
that discussion already taken place on IRC or another mailing list?

Why is +t preferable to having an "other" filesystem?  Is it merely so that
you don't have to be concerned with guessing an appropriate size for the
"other" fileystem?
