Well you could open an issue for it for RFC/discussion. For example, how
would we format the input? Would we always want hashes that starts with
"deadbeef" or sometimes only ends with it, or any of them? Or even
"deadbeef" somewhere/anywhere in it (that would likely be awfully slow)?
Also, would we want the cleartext that produces such vanity hash to be a
printable one actually usable as a password, or more or less any binary?
As mentioned recently, binary brute-force hasn't been within our scope
but we're considering changing that.
