Well, I'm perfectly happy to drop that stipulation and just go with

        \df             -- all
        \dfS            -- system only
        \dfU            -- non-system only

but are we willing to change \d and \dt to work that way too?
Or should we leave them inconsistent?

I think changing \dt would confuse the heck out of people. Far more than changing \df to be consistent with \dt would be.

So my votes, in order of preference, are:

1) make \df consistent with \dt
2) leave them inconsistent
