I personally think it is not worth putting this into a tapset. We should 
use tapsets for mainly providing an abstraction of the probe points the 
way most tapsets are currently implemented.
I think saving that exit to me is not such a big deal. If you really 
want to do i would suggest a language extension but even that makes 
language more complex then required.
