If you need to perform a btrfs-specific operation, you can easily use the
btrfs-specific tools to prepare for it, specifically use "btrfs fi df" which
could give provide every imaginable interpretation of free space estimate
and then some.

UNIX 'df' and the 'statfs' call on the other hand should keep the behavior
people are accustomized to rely on since 1970s.
