[abc] A comment from Nasko Rountev

I've received an e-mail from Nasko Rountev about various things he's up
to. He's interested in using abc for instrumentation. Since we're all
interested in user comments, I'm passing his comments/questions along.
It's something to think about for future extensions/extensibility.
