------- Additional Comments From joshua dot i dot stone at intel dot com  2008-08-08 22:04 -------
Maybe the probe aliases could be expanded to allow incomplete names, something like:

  probe myproc.* = process("/a/really/long/pathname").*
  probe myproc.whatever { /* ... */ }

Or we could do this with preprocessor defines, which would also be useful in
other scenarios:

  %( define myproc process("/a/really/long/pathname") %)
  probe myproc.whatever { /* ... */ }
