Yesterday I started wondering if this patch series could go in if
re-expressed as catchpoints.

That is, instead of:

break probe:arg

we would use:

catch probe arg

The drawback here is that the linespec approach works automatically with
tracepoints. We could fix this via a new argument to 'strace', say '-p'
(for "probe").

This approach would circumvent the need for the pre_expanded sals patch.
