Greetings

First, thank you for the ddrescue.

A feature request.
It would be great if "ddrescue --fill-mode" would write location information (offset, sector#) into bad blocks. Something like:
--
OFFSET 0x06BF5200 SECTOR 0X35FA9
BADBLOCK BADBLOCK  BADBLOCK BADBLOCK
BADBLOCK BADBLOCK  BADBLOCK BADBLOCK
[..]
--
With bad blocks filled in that way, it should be possible to retry recovering critical files, as location of the error is known by looking into the critical file.
