Right. The patch as is is useful primarily for developers. A
user-oriented feature would be the same minus the #ifdef plus a knob
(off by default), possibly combined with a recommendation for 'verify -r'
in the post-commit hook.

What config file do I put the knob in? I think my options are
db/fs-type, db/fs.conf, db/fsfs.conf. (with the middle one being the
cleanest design, but also the most code to implement and introduces a
new uesr-facing config file)
