How would you classify options (like logging and other behavior 
modifiers, like -a for all maps output for fcore)? Or is that not going 
to be touched by this refactor?.

FWIW fcore can take one or many pids, can take logging options and can 
take an optional -a parameter to dump all maps instead of selecting the 
maps based on historical precedence of what to write/what to elide.
