I don't think replacing transfer call with our own emulation would be step
in the right direction. By using emulation, we could be masking bugs in
our code that communicates to the registry, as well as possibly registry
problems. Our emulation may not be perfect, and we may mislead you to
write the code that would work within Horizon, but not in the
Live environment.

For these reasons, I'd rather keep horizon as similiar to operations of
the Live system as possible.
