Hi,

I got one comment in IRC, saying that a faster mmiotrace would be
nice, but probably not something he would invest time in.

Looking at it from that point of view, I guess mmiotrace works well enough,
and is "only" a reverse-engineering tool, not something used daily.
That, and the lack of replies here indicate that rewriting mmiotrace
with your approach might not be worth it. I don't think anyone
opposes to the idea, they just have better things to do.

It's all up to you, I believe.


Thanks,
pq
