Other random useful ideas, both of which probably belong in the
userspace label-parsing-wedge-creating tools:

 - a implied wedge for "unpartitioned space", though perhaps it
   shouldn't be usable as a filesystem.

 - a very small wedge for the actual sector(s) occupied by the MBR or
   other partition tables, to disabiguate update access to this data and
   avoid various special "skipping first block" schemes in filesystems
   etc.
