 So, in theory, an attempt to parse /etc/fstab would be
 an attempt to detect the type; however, my quick glance
 at the code showed no real parsing of fstab.  But in
 my case, I followed to both the T and t flags, and just
 glanced at what was done would they not be specified.
 That was really as far as I got, and I attempted to use
 very generic language in case it only does one, or the
 other, or both.  :)
 
 Reasonable?
