I don't remember the exact scenario...  Maybe trying to log actions &
users?  But, yes, the desire was to write to a page based on certain
conditions within config.php.  Maybe this was trying to set a PTV in a
user's profile to indicate their last action along with a timestamp -- I
think that was it...

So that rules out a custom action -- the desire was to write in conjunction
with the browse or edit action.  Theoretically it could have been done via a
markup in a site-wide header or maybe by registering a shutdown function,
but the conclusion was that was too much complication for a relatively
simple function.
