I had some exposure to this recently. One of my colleagues was quite taken with it and has started to use it quite a bit, controlling it with a command line option.

But another colleague, in the same shop, isn't fond of it inlining new code. There is also some thought that the loop comments don't play nice in a forked environment.

Overall, I think it might be useful, especially for routine debugging messages, but I'm not sure I would want to use the loop reporting very often.

The answer to the question "Can we do this?" is always an emphatic "Yes!" Just give me enough time and money.
