Zero-filled blocks in HAMMER

This might be off topic as I brought this from tux3 ml archive,
but what does "FS converted zerod blocks to hole like hammerfs"
supposed to mean here ?

Is this talking about sparse file ?
(and do BSDs including DragonFly even support sparse file ?)

This is the result of
# dd if=/dev/zero of=xxx bs=16384 count=10
against a newly created fs, and there are 10 zero-filled data records,
which is what I was expecting to see in fs level from the way hammer
is implemented.
