I think so, yes. One makes it clear that we're talking about allowing
user (somethings :), one might just as well mean "this is a user mount."

Yes, if it weren't too long it would by far have been my preference.
Maybe despite the length we should still go with it...

nosuid is quite clear. MNT_USER and MNT_USERMNT are so confusing that
in the time I go from quitting the manpage to foregrounding my editor, I
may have already forgotten which was which.
