With the current code, this would look thus:

# global s, n
# probe begin { s = @1; n = $2; }
# stap foo.stp foobar 123

Since the "number" and "name" names aren't being used at the command
line, there seems to be little loss.

(There are other complications with parametrizing the "begin"
probe.  For one, there can be many begin probes. :-)
