Comment:

 I've done a minimal version of this in a branch called "bug20824".  It's a
 branch on top of prop271_030_v1.  It tries to shove the new guards into
 the GETINFO API that the old guards supported.

 I think there should also be a non-legacy controller GETINFO API that
 exposes this information more sensibly.
