Log:
  gpart(8): ms-basic-data is used for exFAT on GPT
  
  Be explicit about it; the first mention of exFAT is for the MBR type 'ntfs',
  and the reader must work back from there to the GPT type and infer that a
  reference to MBR ntfs type means ms-basic-data is canonical for exFAT.
  
  (It'd also be great if gpart had convenient aliases that did the right
  thing for the partition scheme, such as 'ntfs' => ms-basic-data on GPT
  schemes or 'exfat' => 'ntfs' in MBR schemes.  The tool is also bad about
  providing user-meaningful reasons for EINVAL failures.)
