This all looks pretty nice! Just to check, has the skipping logic been tested to work equivalently to what we had before? By inspection I think it should, but since it relies on function call boundaries it always strikes me as fragile. If you could confirm that (e.g. with LKDTM perhaps?) that'd be great.
