 oh, sorry, i should have said: fscontext, that sort of thing.

 because it doesn't look like there's a way to pass fscontext
 arguments to the fuse module, and it uses man 2 mount() which
 doesn't take any arguments (except some flags, nothing that
 looks remotely like it could be used to pass an fscontext=),
 only the source and destination of the mount point
 (source = /proc/fs/fuse/dev, dest = /yourmountpoint).

Truth, honesty and respect are rare commodities that all spring from
the same well: Love.  If you love yourself and everyone and everything
around you, funnily and coincidentally enough, life gets a lot better.
