Good idea!

You really want to provide a patch? That would be very nice. I think it
would help to use a hint option so regtool can distinguish the above
bytewise form from the string variant. How about a `od' like flag for
different input variations (bytewise, wordwise, etc.)?
FYI: You don't need to use backslashes for registry keys when the first
character is a '/'. So you can type the above example as
regtool -m set '/machine/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/KeyBoard
Layout/Scancode Maps' 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 1d 00 3a 00 00
00 00 00
