Extra set of () unnecessary here and in several places below.

So, why 123 and not at least some other unused number below 10: at least
that way it's in the ext2 "reserved" range should something go horribly
wrong (like a power failure right shortly thereafter).

BTW, this yet-unimplemented functionality should be mentioned under
"limitations" or something in the current design doc. I also think the
design doc should list all short-term and long-term things that need to be
implemented, and in what order.
