Sure, why not.  The only problem is to come up with a notation which
isn't too invasive.  Frank's example showed one problem tapsets are
supposed to solve: make parameters available under a name which doesn't
change.  Another goal for them is to make commonly used expressions
derived from the state when entering the function available (e.g., inode
belonging to a file descriptor).

This kind of information might need a single line for each convenience
variable defined in the tapset.  So, it should be manageable.
