Do we really need this? For the loop case, it was painfully
obvious that it was a count issue. And I can't think of any
cases where it would have helped us, outside of rewriting
core parts (like the first edition of the shadow requests
for the scheduler).

Not strongly opposed to it, feel free to convince me.
