This could probably be implemented as a popt alias rather than in the rsync
program itself. Some specific comments:

That is a hack.

Realize that the default is to ignore all of those things, so their inclusion
in --fat would be useful only to override -a. Some people seem to get in the
habit of using -a all the time regardless of whether they really want the
options it contains.
I'm not interested in having --fat in the main version of rsync, but the
decision is Wayne's.
