At this chance, I would vote for "[PATCH 12/11] Allow multiple -monitor
instances". I think Anthony posted such a patch before. Now we should
really include this as your extension may block the stand-alone -monitor
switch for the control channel, preventing to additionally set up one
(or more) for debugging purposes.
