Can we address that with a release_agent?

Or, the program which did the unshare() (or the fn which was cloned())
can print out it's /proc/getpid()/container before it (optionally resets
stdout and) executes the actual program to be run in the container.

Hmm, that seems reasonable. In fact I like it.

Good idea, thanks. I think I'll go ahead and implement that.
