For my 'ideals' thin space reservation (which would be like allocation 
in advance) would definitely be a welcome thing.

You can also think of it in terms of a default pre-allocation setting. 
I.e. every volume keeps a bit of space over-allocated while only doing 
so if there is actually room in the thin volume (some kind of lazy 
allocation?).

Of course not trying to steal your question here and I do not know if 
any such thing is possible but it might be and I wouldn't mind hearing 
the answer as well.

No offense intended. Regards.
