Martin,
It seems to me that your problem is quite similar to mine, and I think
that, unless someone comes up with an even better idea to solve the
problem, you have a very good proposal for the solution. Of course, I
would expect that neither of us are actually working on the MC code, so
the implementation would have to be done by someone else. All that we can
do is to try to get someone who does write the code to think about whether
this is a feasible approach.
