IMO this should be specified. I would intuitively believe that
a right-hand lowerdir should take precedence over any left-hand one,
but my intuition definitely is tainted by cultural background that not
everyone shares, so it's probably worth looking at how it's done in
aufs, to make migration easier for aufs users.
