-BufferIn should turn into <char *, int> and simple strings in other

-Limit on transfers would still be 2MB for these types.

 Mount filesystems by UUID or label.  (I'm not really sure if we can do
 this at the moment but we ought to be able to do it, and perhaps make
 it easier by having a direct command).

+Resizing, shrinking, specifying sizes in guestfish
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Owing to an oversight we don't really supporting shrinking
+filesystems.  See:

+But a related problem is how to specify sizes to guestfish, ie. "100M"
+or "1G".  Currently the specific alloc and sparse functions contain
+code to parse these size strings, but that cannot be used anywhere
+else that would take a byte count.  This is awkward because some
+commands take units of megabytes (lvresize, sfdiskM) or sectors
+(part-add), with no unifying theme.
