The main point I was driving at with this patch was to fix
"Microsoft Window's FAT filesystems" (i.e. FAT filesystems which belong
 to Microsoft Window, which is decidedly wrong).

FAT32 first shipped with MS-DOS 7.1, as part of Windows 95 OSR2,
but it's a (relatively) simple logical extension of the previous FATx
filesystems (16 and 12 as we know and love them today,
 I don't think the PC ever saw 8), hence the "VFAT" driver name ‒
calling FAT-anything a Windows filesystem would be a flat-out lie,
calling it a Microsoft filesystem would be, uh, facetious.

NTFS (as part of Windows NT), on the other hand, is wholly different
WRT the scope and feature-set (it does borrow some layouting from FAT,
 but reading NTFS as FAT doesn't get you very far, or much).

The replacing bit is also questionable, especially in a.d. 2020:
while it is true that you cannot install NT on FAT (after a certain
 point? my memory ain't what it used to be), and must therefore
replace your existing FAT partitions with NTFS during upgrades;
Windows NT 4.0, the last product to be NT-branded came out in 1996,
i.e. you could not install Windows on FAT (and, therefore,
 upgrade it to NTFS, replacing it) during my entire lifetime.

Indeed, in $(date +%Y) we live in a post-NTFS world ‒ putting NTFS in
the same class as FAT beyond "is a filesystem" is a joke.
