This is one of those things I've left for later.

Basically df tells you the total storage in the FS.  This storage might
be raid0, raid1 or single spindle duplication, so the usable space may
be different from the total storage.

In the future we'll have the data sent to df give better estimates of
usable space.

Changing btrfs-show to show the chunks too is a good idea.
