You might find it worth starting that way but I think in practice you'd
be better off writing a plugin. See InterpreterPlugin and friends from
the VMMAker package. For something like this I'd tend to write Slang for
the veneer that goes from VM to driver rather than trying to get clever
in Slang code.
