That would be awesome. I think once you get into the code you'll
realize that it isn't like walking through a warzone or tapdancing in
a minefield like some other codebases. :) The code is really
well-ordered so you can frequently copy and paste from other files and
functions and create new functionality. Feel free to get in there and
start mixing it up! It's kinda fun.

Understood. The other thing you could do, at least to test the events
for VMD, is to create a little daemon kind of program that sits there
and listens for VMD hits and have it uuid_kill those channels for you.
Crude, to be sure, but it would definitely let you confirm that the
system is working.
