I wonder if utrace could be more helpful here. If an engine just
wants to single-step from some other callback, forcing it to have a
quiesce callback just to re-re-re-repeat what it already asked for
seems like make-work. Could utrace instead remember the last
instruction received either via utrace_control() or from a real
callback, and have utrace supply a dummy echo-bot quiesce?
