That's exactly the approach I intend to take in the short run. In the
longer run I'll spend some time thinking about the "generic" solution

Another thought that crossed my mind is that this *specific* counter
might be part of Richard Gooch's performance counters (I haven't looked
into these counters yet, so consider it an off-hand remark).
