This would essentially be the same as the $debug system call, but writing to specified file instead of the regular (simulator-dependent) output. The rationale behind this is in separating $debug calls from several devices, allowing regression testing of model performance vs. simulation algorithm, and more efficient post-processing of large amounts of data from $debug calls.
