Hi Malcolm,
that sounds interesting. Since you can turn on logging of state changes
(as you probably know), this is in principle possible, though I don't
think it is built in.
I guess writing a bit of Elisp to accomplish this should not be very
difficult, though it seems that currently the problem is a bit
underspecified. If you could elaborate, e.g., provide an example of
your state change log and describe the result you would like to get,
I could be tempted to coding this.
Best,
