        <pre>It seems that currently there's no obvious way to create mount files for hidden
directories. The escape rules described in the documentation are a little bit
obscure either. E.g.

# systemctl start .mntpts-doc.mount
Failed to start .mntpts-doc.mount: Unit .mntpts-doc.mount failed to load:
Invalid argument. See system logs and 'systemctl status .mntpts-doc.mount' for
details.


# systemctl status .mntpts-doc.mount
● .mntpts-doc.mount - Documents Directory
   Loaded: error (Reason: Invalid argument)
   Active: inactive (dead)
    Where: /.mntpts/doc
     What: //svc.host.dom/doc

Dec 24 23:55:54 systemd[1]: .mntpts-doc.mount's Where= setting doesn't match
unit name. Refusing.</pre>
