OK, in that case, feel free to post it to the wiki as/when you like.

I wasn't talking about initscripts, but about stap's -F and staprun's
-L/-A options.

OK. It almost sounds like what you'd need is another post-processing
option, where the user specifies a command line (rather than a file
name). Then the 'ipaddress' sorts of filtering would be simply:
stap-makepkg --filter-output 'grep 127.0.0.1' .....
with no post-processing script/file.
