Thanks for this :)
Yeah, thanks .. we have been very lazy about documenting ext2/3/4 and the supported features.
Thoughts on renaming the module to something less specific than ext2,
like extfs? Does anyone remember this question coming up before?

No, the ext2 naming is rather historical in that it corresponds to the design, not really the format. The upstream userland tools are still called e2fsprogs [1].
Also the ext4 driver in linux now also handles ext3 and ext2.

If I had a dollar for every user I've helped find this, that has replied
'oh! I thought that was only ext2', I'd have like $43.

Also, any reason why we don't have a mount_extfs(8) command? Can we also
have (man,mount) aliases for each of extN that is supported?
I recall there was once a mount_ext2fs manpage. I think it was removed because
the ext2 driver doesn't have the "old" mount interface.
