I had hybrid attack (http://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=hybrid_attack) in mind but I think we can enhance it: A really flexible solution would be using eg. the ?w mask for representing the original word (from another mode, eg. wordlist). So using HashCat's example, this wordlist:
password
hello
and this command-line:
./john -wordlist:file -mask=?w?d?d?d?d
...would generate the password0000..hello9999 candidates. We could also use eg. -mask=?d?d?w?d?d which is not supported by HashCat's hybrid mode.
