Anyway, do you think that we can safely assume that no other
filesystem will interpret these flags differently? I think so yes, cf. the comments in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/include/uapi/linux/fs.h
Fair enough.
One thing that could be improved though is that it would use those `FS_` constant names from the kernel instead of `EXT2` and `EXT4` to highlight that the flags are used in a generic filesystem independent way.
