In my opinion, we do not want feature parity with dd. What we do want
is feature parity with convert.
Well, convert is lacking a way to specify a subset of one file to move
to a (possibly different) subset of the other. I'm fine if we want to
enhance

For feature parity with dd, we want to be able to specify
the offset within the output file, just as we can specify
the offset for the input (in particular, this makes copying
a subset range of guest-visible bytes from one file to
another much easier).
The code style for 'qemu-img dd' was pretty
