Yes, a trivial wrapper could:
1. Store all property values in a file in the fs
2. zfs send...
3. zfs receive...
4. Set all the properties stored in that file

well, then it's probably a good idea to save any changes from the
defaults somewhere
as they are done or save the output of a "zfs get" along with backups.

Where are properties of a ZFS filesystem stored (e.g. non-default
mountpoints, quota, reservation, compression, exported shares etc.)?
Do backup/restore mechanisms (zfs send/receive,
Networker/NetBackup/TSM, *tar etc.)
handle (save/restore) them automagically or are there additional
procedures needed?
Thanks,
Franz
