Details about going out can be printed on onsend_route. In this route 
block, one can execute drop and nothing is sent to the wire. It can be a 
config started with a special define specified with -A parameter.

Enabling debugger module with cfg trace should give valuable information 
about what has been executed from config.

 From what Andreas suggesting, printing the value of variables as they 
are assigned is missing, probably can be added by hooking in the 
interpreter when doing the assignment operation.

Grouping all above under some global/command line parameter can be 
useful to make it easier to do a dry run.

Cheers,
Daniel
