That's about as far from "non-invasive" as I can imagine :-(

I really, really want to avoid doing anything like the above, because it
would force us to expose to the whole backend many data structures and
state variables that are currently local to individual .c files.  That
complicates understanding and debugging tremendously, not to mention
slowing the edit/compile/debug cycle when you are changing such
structures.
