BTW, although I share most of Luca's and Tommaso's viewpoints,
triggering bandwidth enforcement at runtime+something instead than just
at runtime doesn't look all that bad, and should fit nicely in what we
have now, without much twisting.

It's just another way to interpret the runtime, and it seems feasible
(or at least plan-able as future feature! :-P) to me... Actually this
was exactly what I was asking and what I wanted to know. :-)

Thanks,
