We study the potential benefits of an iodine-based solar-neutrino detector for testing hypotheses that involve neutrino oscillations. We argue that such a detector will have a good chance of distinguishing the two allowed regions of $\Delta m^2$ -- $\sin^22\theta$ parameter space if neutrino conversion is occurring in the sun. It should also be able to detect seasonal variations in the signal due to vacuum oscillations and might be sensitive enough to detect day/night variations due to MSW transitions in the earth. Although it would need to be calibrated, a working iodine detector could be completed before more ambitious projects that seek to accomplish the same things.
