Why not ? 

On block devices, this only a matter of seeking the file pointer.
The problem is that on character device peeking needs a buffer, and so that 
the size of the peeked data cannot be greater than the size of the buffer. 

If I have time, I will add it in the 1.0. Else, it will be in a next version.
