This would require ability to have dynamic character sets. Right now, there us upper, lower and digit. We might need one call ?@ that is 'aA@&', ?o that is 0oO, ?s that is sS$ etc. Then p?@...sw?ord would allow elite. The nice thing about this is getting things like password, pas$word, pa$sword and pa$$word all working. Doing that with JtR's current rules is not easy (especially the middle 2 of those words). But with a mask, this is trivial.
Yes. Save/restore is trivial. But I reverted it for now, until we have a mature mode.
Also, Myrice's goal with this mode is to implement it on GPU where applicable, and I believe it will also support combining with other cracking modes (which complicates the save/restore thing). So any functionality we add (at this time) may just lead to trouble.
