This, or something like it, would also be useful for QEMU images; see bug 451524.
http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/qcow-image-format.html Note the backing_file_offset and backing_file_size fields; these are an offset and a length of a string. There's currently no way to extract the string; we have to currently rely on the fact that it's usually followed by a NULL. Being able to specify the length of a string with a reference to an offset would be very useful here.
