Thinking more about it, you don't really care where the filesystem is
mounted, you just care about the capabilities that apply in a particular
directory. And given that, to cope with shenanigans such as someone
re-exporting a Samba FS over NFS you need to check those capabilities by
actually trying to do stuff, then you might as well just try to do stuff
and ignore mount points and whatnot altogether.
I'm still not gonna write this sucker until I need it though :-)
