Yeah, that's what I've been afraid of from the start. There's
no way that this will buy us enough new coverage to justify
that sort of addition to every check-world run.
I'd be okay with adding it in a form where the default behavior
is to do no additional checking. Whether that's worth maintaining
is hard to say though.
