How do you deal with partitions, especially when you might be going
over paritition boundaries?

Can this do arbitrary overlapping file system moves? If I've
decided that I want to shuffle around the partitions on my disk
and assuming that I've dealt with making sure any data in the
partition I'm partially shifting into is safe, can this handle it?

Please send-pr it and put it up! (I hope there is a manual :-)
