I see. I think it should belongs to the first condition, which should
only be used by human users, especially developers. Maybe I can repost
with some more comment in the commit message to emphasize that.

But, before that, I would also want to know whether anyone would think
this an useful thing even to QMP... If so, I would be glad to provide
QMP interface as well.
