That looks very useful.  I don't think it would apply to 'vspace', but 
it
would have been great to have had this when I started writing my tools.
Right now my tools are up over 4000 lines of code though, and I'm also
(currently) stuck with very old versions of OpenAFS on all our AFS 
servers.
I'm using my tools to move volumes from ancient-OpenAFS to 
modern-OpenAFS
file servers, and then I hope to upgrade our AFS db servers.

I definitely wish it had been possible for me to have made it to this
year's workshop in Pittsburg!  That just wasn't doable though, for a
variety of reasons.
