For normal usage on-demand dumping would be a really good thing; it'd
cut the overhead of having stats on tremendously, especially for people
who don't really use 'em. The particular signaling proposed here is
bogus, but if Martin can make it work in a cleaner fashion I think it's
likely a good idea.
