None that I'm aware of, but someone else might jump in with some fresh 
reference.  Let me note that as far as I can tell back-perl is 
feature-frozen ever since, so in 2.2, and significantly in HEAD, the 
data structure is likely not receiving many of the detailed 
per-operation info that are currently available to the backends.  I'm 
thinking about controls, the version, the identity an operation is 
performed as, the connection stuff (domain, peername, listener) and so. 
I guess someone might feel like improving the interface, for instance 
allowing any of the above to be passed maybe on demand?
