Humm... How does one distinguish between these variants? Searching in mountinfo for vfsmount with group ID of reported master? We can live with that, but it looks like a subtlety that will be cheerfully forgotten by userland code.
Will do for now, but I think that we'll need that piece of documentation more noticable and not so easy to overlook.
