Funny old world, huh? :)

Odds are you'll get per-op event checking if you enable debugging, since
the debugging oploop will really be a generic "check event every op" loop
that happens to have the "pending debugging event" bit permanently set.
Dunno whether we want to force this at compile time or consider some way to
set it at runtime. I'd really like to be able to switch oploops
dynamically, but I can't think of a good way to do that efficiently.
