I agree with the view that Antonio has. The tools already
exist to do the adjustments if the user/admin deems required,
but I would not like to see them incorporated in to ddrescue.
Certainly though mentioning of the other tools is always a nice
addition, along with more examples, though a lot are already
well explained in various data recovery & forensics wiki/blogs.
