There would be two things that would make parted more useful.
1) If the partitions are not consequent, ie. there is free space
between them - a gap - , it would be good if the "print" command
reported [gap XXX bytes, kilos ...] between them.
Looking at the pure BEG and END values is hard to "see" where the gaps would
be and how to make informed partition chnages.
2) The "print" listing is desperately missing the total size of the partition.
This would help great deal deciding how to resize or chnage the partitions.
Examples below. Note, I did not change the values, just added the cases
I raised for 1 and 2 to show what I meant.
