Being able to do this from user-space in an activity would provide a
single digital output for turning experiments on and off.

I'd like to see it be possible.

Imagine ... child whistles, input to mic, FFT, turn on USB, external
device turns on.

Imagine ... learning about simple feedback algorithms, thermistor
attached to analog input, measuring heat in a matchbox, tiny 6V lamp as
heating element, learning will also include the benefit of insulation,
since battery operating time would be affected.
