This is going to be a problem for UML as well, and I was considering something
very similar. I did a quick scan of your prose, and the description sounds
like what I had in mind.
So, count me in as a supporter of this.
A small request: Since S/390 is not the only port that needs this, I'd be
happy if it was made as generic as possible (and it may already be, I haven't
gone through the code yet).
