What was keeping me from implementing this before was the lack of public
documentation on how to do it. Has that changed? I'd be happy to do the
implementation.

I would expect the dynamic predictor to work quite well on this. I'm not
worried about the overhead of the tests as much as the overhead of
having to enable the DART for smaller configs. If benchmark profiling
shows different down the road then we can add them.
