Hi Qiantan (and Ted),

Just wondering if there's been any progress on this front.

ERC, for one, stands to benefit from such a feature, both in our
client-to-client module and in our behavioral tests. As for the latter,
I've been running our suite with a simplistic sketch of this feature for
a little bit now (externally, of course). FWIW, it's already caught one
elusive bug.

I've included said sketch below in hopes of getting the wheels turning
in the minds of you experts (if only as a repugnant reminder of what not
to do).

Thanks,
J.P.

P.S. Would someone be willing to open a bug report for this feature (I
guess it'd fall under "wishlist")?
