Must be interesting for the plugin makers to make such a tool and also an eye/ear opener for many mastering engineers if they hear what happened with their mastering.
Yes, and everyone should read this:

"What Happens To My Recording When It's Played On The Radio?"
-By Robert Orban, CRL/Orban and Frank Foti, Omnia Audio
If nothing else, at least take to heart this one quote from the above work:
"There has been a myth in the recording world that broadcast processing will modify these clipped, over-compressed CDs less than it will modify clean, dynamic CDs.

"Thanks in part to phase rotation, this myth is absolutely false.

"In particular, any clipping in the source material causes nothing but added distortion without increasing on-air loudness at all."
