That's exactly what it is. We'd essentially put in knobs so that we
could control the different things we need to. For example, if we
wanted to test a particular problem with promotions of arguments, we can
do that. If we wanted to test how we handled a secondary address reload
to implemenet a GP<->FP register copy through memory, we can control all
the parameters for that too. And so on.
It's Bernd's idea and I think it has a lot of merit and I think it's
largely complementary to what you're doing.
