No I think not. At least not exactly the same. check will be limited to
push since it only makes sense there. on-demand on the other hand is
already used for fetch and pull. Currently no more possible uses come to
my mind. checkout and others will learn to traverse submodules but that will
most likely be a boolean (to switch it on and off).

CC'ed Jens so he can also take a look.
