Then please implement a single function for all these filesystems,
just like set_label, set_uuid, etc.  Having to call a different function
to get the same information depending on the filesystem is only making
artificial barriers in users of the API (which then have to do the
function choice at runtime on their own).

Please note the API is there also to provide some coherency.
