Hmm. That has some possibilities. You'd want a way to get the stats
collector to discard a domain when you didn't want those numbers
anymore, but that seems doable enough. Also, most likely you'd want
the collector to keep both "global" and per-domain counters, else
resetting a domain loses state --- which'd be bad from autovac's
point of view, if nothing else.
