I was hoping to have it specified as a set of mount options or defaults controlled in the super block so that if you want to use it you can otherwise it doesn't exist.

Don't do it!!!

OK, I know Chris has described some block sharing.  But I hate it.

If I copy "resume" to "resume.save", it is because I want 2 copies
for safety.  I don't want the fs to reduce it to 1 copy.  And
reducing the duplicates is exactly opposite to Chris's paranoid
make-multiple-copies-by-default.

Now feel free to tell me I'm an idiot (other people do) :)

I would imagine that it would be optional and at worst, a specialized fork of btrfs that follows the mainline but adds the deduplication bits.
