Subject: Option to create missing mount point

A debian bug has requested that mount create the mount point if it
does not exist yet. My initial reaction was no, but one use case does
seem to be a good reason. That would be if you want to set up a tmpfs
mount with several sub mounts in /etc/fstab. You currently can't do
that since when the tmpfs is mounted, it is empty. Is this something
that might be a good idea?
