The leading slash will be a problem with the current code. I forgot
about that... make that ${PWD#/} (or change the code to ignore the
leading slash...). That is, admittedly, more typing than a single
character option, but not much.
And yes, if your mount name and pool names don't match, extra code would
be required to determine the parent pool/fs of the path passed. But no
more code than magic CWD goo... I really don't like special case options
whose sole purpose is to shorten command line length.
