    If you don't want to listen to my part of the argument then consider
    the point of view of those who have maintained systems entirely based
    on binary editing, namely systemtap and LKET. It's indicative that
    all those who have been involved in tracing, be it by static
    instrumentation of code or the use of binary editing, all favor some
    form of static markup mechanism of the code.
