Not sure... I'll think about it.
Don't bother for now. Somehow the current way feels more
precise.
Maybe I'm missing something in this discussion, but...
I find it inexplicably confusing that any partitioning tool would ever
describe an extended to exclude any freespace contiguous to any logical
partition, regardless how actually defined in the tables. Making creation of
a logical in freespace adjoining any existing logical take more than one step
makes no sense.
