Since this is so specialized, it might be better to make this into a plugin. There should be only very minor changes required to make it live down in

While plugins are usually used for PROTOCOLS  there is nothing that
prevents you from doing a "fake" protocol plugin that is actually a
tap.
(or if there is something that would prevent plugin taps from working
it should be fixed)

We already have a plugin tap - the stats_tree tap. It's not even a protocol, it's *just* a tap; plugins no longer have to be protocols.
