I think this is the better choice.  It does exist already for process(PID), as
documented, just not for process(NAME).  Because of relocations, allowing NAME
has a high potential to do the wrong thing, especially if NAME is a system library.

Roland suggested that the address might be interpreted as relative to the
relocated module base.  I think that's would be more useful, though perhaps that
semantic should be under ".relative".
