No worries. As I stated upthread, my plan is to address all the issues
bottom up, starting with the more immediately obvious (no changes for
change sake). If we can get the usefulness we are looking for out of
the current harness, then no big changes will be needed.

If we run into some brick wall down the road (say when we're doing the
profile-based inliner changes), then we'll see what other options we
have available.
