Is it robust against mounting /dev/$'abc def\x0dghi'
to ~/mnt/`perl -e 'print "a" x 4050'`?

Besides that, I don't like having 'none' as the mount source. Instead, I
like to e.g. mount proc /proc -t proc, this will put the important
information into the first column of the mount(1) output, right where I
start reading.
