In case it wasn't clear I am NOT proposing a UI like this:

Instead ~/Documents or ~ would be a ZFS file system with a policy set
something like this:
# zfs set erase=file:zero
Or maybe more like this:
# zfs create -o erase=file -o erasemethod=zero homepool/darrenm
I get it. This should be lots easier than bleach(1). Snapshots/clones
are mostly not an issue here. When a block is truly freed, then it is
wiped.
Yep.
Clones are an issue here only if they have different settings for this
property than the FS that spawned them (so you might want to disallow
re-setting of this property).
I think you are saying it should have INHERITY set to YES and EDIT set
to NO. We don't currently have any properties like that but crypto will
need this as well - for a very similar reason with clones.
