That implements (provides) the API, I was more interested about
whether there's anything that actually uses it, so that I could
test that Hatari's implementation works OK.

Is there any program that has left these calls into the production
version version of its binary that's still available?  Preferably
something where one can actually trigger calls to this API. :-)

As there was some interest in this API (Atari standard unlike
NF_DEBUGGER NatFeats and Hatari's XBios(255)), I decided to
commit it anyway (later today).
