Is hiding all things defined in fstab not sufficient? Do we need a a
new comment=hidden syntax?  Are there reasonable usage cases where you
want things which are defined in fstab to be displayed in the user UI?
 I would have thought anything listed in fstab would be preferred to
be hidable in the general case.
