No, you've got the latest code. If memory serves (it's hazy) -S was
asked for but I didn't like the idea because of some potential for
breaking things if it was misused.
What I did implement was the ability to format multiple devices at the
same time (both caches and backing devices), and if you do that they'll
all get the same set UUID.
Should probably take that out of the docs for now...
