Yes, the idea is correct.  The problem, as you've probably noticed is 
that the target stack isn't really a stack :-(  Cleanly slipping a new 
layer in between thread_stratum and process_stratum isn't as easy as it 
should be.

However, having said that I'm very interested in changes that start 
converting the target layers into a real stack.
