--- Comment #3 from Aurélien Couderc <aurelien.couderc2002@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to Mark Johnston from comment #2)
No, this does not help.
stat -h does not list the data sections, which makes writing a filesystem test
suite a huge pain.

Also stat -h cannot become a POSIX standard, as
1) other stat(1) implementations already use the -h option for different
functionality
2) POSIX utilities must observe a maximum line lengths, while FreeBSD stat -h
will produce output far longer than POSIX2_LINE_MAX if there are many holes in
a sparse file
