Yes, we're waiting for this :)

In most cases rewrite/shrink should inform admin if given operation is
possible in case of free space.
However it won't be probably possible with ditto block for data block
without actually scanning entire pool...

I guess that in such a case two options should be provided. 1) just to
go ahead and we will see what happens. 2) first scan entire pool and
give the answer.
