So such knob that I can find. Basically, we pick a combination of the flags at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms680519(v=VS.85).aspx We could send it as a "user stream", i guess, but it won't be available in the debugger at the same address space then - just as a blob of data to process manually.
