Sounds like it could be useful for debugging purposes. If you implement it, I'd turn it on for some of our local verification runs. Finding runtime calling convention bugs cheaply is always nice. :) +1

Reminds me of the order of evaluation patch that Nick had for the front end? I.e. shake out dependencies that way as well.

(That said, as long as it's not too weighty to keep maintained I'm in favor of such things being added.)
