   Haha. This is naive at best.

   I'm with Goffredo on this one -- I would much prefer to stick to
commands of precisely two words: a group and an action.

   That should mean that we have "filesystem balance" as a synonym for
"balance start", and all the other restriper functions under "balance
XYZ". Then the remaining parameter will always be the filesystem path.
