That's super-useful, thanks. I'm still not sure how to tell which functions are predicted though: presumably it's those called from a usercmd, but is there a proper channel for checking exactly which those are?
(I noticed FTYPEDESC_NOERRORCHECK...Is that the equivalent of "not FTYPEDESC_INSENDTABLE"? Certainly seems that way to me.)
