 It seems that the chains abbreviations: "sublks", "toplgy" and
 "parts" are too unreadable for some people. I'll probably use full
 names for the API:

    BLKID_CHAIN_SUPERBLOCKS
    BLKID_CHAIN_TOPOLOGY
    BLKID_CHAIN_PARTITIONS

 any objections? 

 Frankly, I have problem to select good names for symbols:
 
	blkid_probe_chain_enable_binary;
	blkid_probe_chain_filter_types;
	blkid_probe_chain_filter_usage;
	blkid_probe_chain_invert_filter;
	blkid_probe_chain_reset_filter;
	blkid_probe_chain_set_flags;
	blkid_probe_lookup_ullong_value;
	blkid_probe_lookup_ulong_value;

looks too long for my... any suggestion?
