No worries!

That sounds very good. I could see using the interactive console to e.g.
send a couple of requests to the server, covering the equivalence
classes of all potential requests, save to file, and then use file
tooling to insert additional generate requests that vary over some
parameter, to get a real range coverage of the test cases.

I totally agree.
By way of saying this I want to add a bit of the scenarios I have in
mind. What I like to see possible (and is already partly supported with
the current implementation) is the possibility to utilize it in unit
tests. Given a - however fabricated - mockup data file of Rpc requests I
want to do the following from my test code:
a) switch to mockup mode (currently "on"), invoke my client applications
classes so they end up doing Rpc requests that match the pre-fabricated
ones, and are answered from the mock data; this is to offline unit-test
the *client* classes
b) in an entirely different test, switch to no mockup mode ("off"), read
the *request* data from the mockup file, create corresponding Rpc
requests and directly fire them against the server backend (ie.
re-running the request), then *compare* the returned result against the
*response* section of the mockup data; this is to mass unit-test the
*server* backend
