I really like that you're currently able to do:
 probe process("/lib/libx.so").function("f")
and by this having a systemwide probe that will catch any task that calls f()
from libx.

If, in the future, this could be improved to:
 probe library("libx").function("f")
with the following improvements:
 * find libx in the current env. (LD_LIBRARY_PATH, ld.so.conf, etc.)
 * work with only the symbol table and not require dwarf
then that would be very nice.

I apologise if this comment was OT, I think/hope it was close enough to be
relevant...
