Hi!

I=E2=80=99ve pushed these two patches, with an extra comment in the Docker =
test
as you suggested.

Ricardo Wurmus <rekado@elephly.net> skribis:

So I was on the verge of renaming the =E2=80=98squashfs=E2=80=99 backend as=
 a first
step, but I wasn=E2=80=99t sure about the name=E2=80=94naming is hard!

I thought about =E2=80=98singularity=E2=80=99, but that could be confused w=
ith SIF:

  https://github.com/sylabs/sif

Then I thought about =E2=80=98singularity-squashfs=E2=80=99: it=E2=80=99s u=
nambiguous but a bit
long.

Another option is the status quo since both =E2=80=98--help=E2=80=99 and th=
e manual
mention Singularity.

WDYT?

Ludo=E2=80=99.
