I think our compiler-writers would probably disagree with you... certain
types of checking (e.g., checking for addresses in a certain range, which
I suggested back at the beginning of this discussion) is enormously
difficult to do without hardware support... I have heard of debuggers that
had to completely emulate the instruction set in order to do this.
