i believe the num-devices is redundant since this value is already
stored in the superblock
we could change the way mdadm outputs data to put _all_ redundant
information in subsequent lines and keep the only required info in the
'ARRAY' line,
so mdadm --examine --scan | grep ARRAY would be suitable for initial
configuration
or even print it only if a --verbose flag is added
so mdadm --examine --scan by itself would suit most need

for the time being some akw magic can be used to parse 'mdadm --examine
--scan' and make it suitable for inclusion in mdadm.conf
