Track overall phase?

How difficult would it be to add phase tracking to Tableau/simulators as an option (disabled by default)?

My understanding was that phase tracking made the Hadamard gate have quadratic cost instead of linear cost, so the performance characteristics were quite different and it requires a totally different simulation strategy.
I'm not opposed to adding a simulator that can do it, but I suspect we're talking about a week's or a month's worth of programming work.

Closing this as "too much work; out of scope; though not opposed"
