@Scott Not every optical drive has an eject button: some are under
software control (but may have some little pinhole into which one may
insert a paperclip: I don't think this sends a software-detectable
event).  Also, my use case (A): rewriting rewritable media may require
the ability to unmount, but not eject optical media.

@dael Thanks for the extra use case for unmount-without-eject (multiple
partitions).  The current UI to remount unmounted partitions is a little
odd in nautilus (visit "Computer", activate parition icon, wait), so I'd
argue there's no need to add a special "mount" feature (it's either
already there, or we confuse the current distinction that "Places" or
"Computer" may contain unmounted volumes, while the Desktop typically
contains only mounted volumes).  That said, making this more
discoverable may be interesting.

"Unmount" in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable
