Saying that nobody will do it is a bit strong. I like Stefan's ideas,
understand edebug specs, and would like to know more about how the byte

wouldn't happen immediately, as I'd like to get my half-finished
benchmarking tool to a state where it's usable by other people, before I
start any other projects.
