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.
