I secretely added that to my pile already :)
That's indeed something we really want.

The above is just a little thing I noticed yesterday and I wanted

About that tracepoint collection, I'm not sure I like the idr though.
That thing seems to be O(log(n)), I which we can rather approach O(1)
when possible, using a hlist perhaps.
