From my perspective as a user I would be grateful if the following changes in
syntax for listing subvolumes could be considered:

In addition to 

    btrfs subvolume list [-apurts] [-g [+|-]value] [-c [+|-]value] [--sort=gen,ogen,rootid,path] <path>
    btrfs su list [-apurts] [-g [+|-]value] [-c [+|-]value] [--sort=gen,ogen,rootid,path] <path>
        List subvolumes (and snapshots)
    (and Anand's patch to allow <path>/<subpath>)

I believe the following shortcuts may be useful

    btrfs subvolumes [-apurts] [-g [+|-]value] [-c [+|-]value] [--sort=gen,ogen,rootid,path] <path>[</subpath>]
    btrfs sl [-apurts] [-g [+|-]value] [-c [+|-]value] [--sort=gen,ogen,rootid,path] <path>[</subpath>]

Although from a technical perspective 'subvolume list' may be logical, listing
subvolumes (plural) seems like a different sort of operation to those relating
to a subvolume (singular) for create/alter/show/delete/snapshot operations.

+1 to this proposal (FWIW) - thanks for making the user interface more
intuitive :)
