What 'dd' implementation was this specifically?
Solaris dd has iseek and oseek. However, they are not aliases for skip
and seek. If coreutils dd were to add these features I expect we should
do them the Solaris way, instead of making them aliases for skip and
seek. This would take more work than the proposed patches.
