Has consideration been given to setting multiple properties at once in a

For example, consider attempting to maintain quota == reservation, while
increasing both. It is impossible to maintain this equality without some
additional help.
Quota must be increased first (because the reservation can't exceed the
quota), increasing the reservation could fail (due to insufficient
space), and restoring the quota to the previous value can fail (due to
file system growth). It would seem convenient if these race conditions
could be handled in the kernel.
Why will you reverse a quota increase due to reservation failure? I
imagine I'll only do that if I am fighting growth on all other
datasets but I'll put a quota on them instead.
Alternatively, why not allow the reservation to exceed the quota? Some
space is unusable until the quota is raised, but isn't that acceptable
and/or desirable?
I disagree that this should be allowed exactly because it results in
unusable space for the time within which the
