Is it that complex that an ERE would help?

I was thinking about:

df -F ufs,qfs,tmpfs

nothing more complex than that. And using the same scheme for
other commands that operate on filesystems for consistency,
in particular the new fsstat tool, would be helpful too.

(For example, shareall and unshareall use this syntax already
[although I don't suppose it finds much use].)
