v2:
 * Linewrap to 80 chars except pre-formatted <terminal> tag [Eric]
 * 'path' argument can be <target dev='name'> or <source file='name'> [Eric]
 * s/cancelation/cancellation/ [Eric]
 * Use blockpull --base option to avoid bandwidth 0 positional argument [Eric]
 * Drop blockjob --pivot argument, it doesn't work yet and I didn't document it
