Thanks for bringing this point up. I was thinking the process a little 
bit different. :(

Ok. What I want to control at this point are variable assignments 
(global and local) and function calls. With function calls I mean 
function's parameters and return values. So I want to have control over 
parameters before function is called and return values before they are 
returned.

Speed is not important. I'll think about your idea.
