The default size of a tmpfs filesystem is 50% of RAM. That can be overridden by setting the size explicitly, CaT is offering percent instead. Which is nice, and neatly done.
But I do agree with you that it seems a bit strange, not to take swap into account at all. That's one reason I never bothered to add the feature CaT proposes before. Just imagine you keep swap at some % of your RAM, then it'll all scale together.
