I've been thinking more generally that it would be nice if this were
an ftrace option somehow -- one concrete way of making it nicer than
strace :)

I filed a few things in the sourceware bugzilla.  I wasn't sure how
far you'd want me to go.  E.g., I looked a little at adding command
line options to ftrace, to make it strace compatible.  I filed a bug
resulting from this, but didn't file one for the general idea ...
