Ok fine. But I still think it needs a -s (summary) or -v (more detail) switch. 
The combined amount of information from existing df and show in a single 
command is too much information at a glance. The idea that only a human being 
can evaluate that pile of data into a meaningful answer to their questions 
strikes me as flawed. That it's a non-trivial boolean problem I'll accept, but 
if a human can consistently draw reasonable conclusions from this data dump 
then something can summarize it into the same - albeit not answering all 
possible questions.
