This was part of my original (unpublished) proposal, but deferred it for
a few reasons:

- We have discussed the possiblity of introducing pool-wide properties
  for a variety of reasons (such as background scrubbing intervals).  I
  thought it best to delay dealing with the confluence of these options
  until a later date.

- The functionality is trivial to extend at a later date.  It's
  introduction is a logical conclusion, but doesn't seem a requirement
  at the moment.

- It's only really useful for pools on removable devices, where you
  want a one-to-one correspondence between the pool and a single
  filesystem.  There are a number of other technical hurdles to overcome
  before this becomes an attractive option, so I don't view the lack of
  this functionality as relevant in the enterprise space.

Hope that helps,

Eric
