That's not easy to enforce though, afaict it is being used for:
- error reporting decision
- file & socket lookup (fd: & /dev/fdset etc)
- the current state of the monitor / list of commands, cpu_path, capabilities..
Wouldn't it be simpler to make it per-thread? I think it could also
use helpers to push/pop the current monitor.
