Oh, sure, I can do it. I can even create a bunch of .sh files on desktop to
mount my media. Welcome back to the 90s with KDE 4! :-)

Even in browsers encoding autodetection don't work well. When it comes to
filenames, where amount of available text data is too low to analyze, it'd be
much worse.

Today I've found another case which require human intervention and manual mount
settings. It's NTFS volumes. Windows users rarely use "Safely remove" option,
so most of NTFS volumes that I had in my hands contained a "dirty" journal file
requiring the "force" option to mount.

Is it really that hard, or that awfully wrong to add an option to set mount
options manually, maybe in some hidden configuration file?

> you can give us your helping hand.
I'd be glad to help, but I barely know C++ and all I've ever coded were
WinAPI/MSVC applications. I fear that I'd be useless as code contributor.
