This would be a little messy, as if this is not specified people still need to say what the initial set of possible individuals is. What do you think, @ashander, @molpopgen?

I'm still thinking about this one. I literally never considered starting with a genealogy. For my applications, it is not necessary--one doesn't need a MRCA at all sites in order to drop mutations. And the initial set of possible individuals is something that I just create in table format--basically [0,2N-1] at time 0.
