no, use "swapon -s" or cat /proc/swaps

I'd like to keep "mount" output backwardly compatible, but nothing
other. If you need information:
- about mountpoints: findmnt(8) [since 2.18]
- about block devices: lsblk(8) [since 2.19]
- about partitions: partx(8) --show [since 2.19]
all these utils provide much better interface for humans as well as
for scripts. The traditional mount(8) output is very poor...
