        Tools to deal with the issue you're referring to belong as part
        of a suite of tools that data recovery people will keep, but I
        don't personally see it belonging in ddrescue.  I believe
        you've taken the right direction in having someone else write
        the helper applications/tool to do the task.  Most data
        recovery people have a multitude of tools like testdisk,
        photorec, ddrescue and parted, adding more tools to their
        suite as they are required, your tool/helper probably will be
        added to the list. 

        ddrescue does what it does and does it well and I feel that
        Antonio has made the appropriate choice ( to not incorporate
        the facility ) based on the planned scope of the ddrescue
        project.
