Please don't do that.

First off, I see no future in the open/openat idea.  Not just pledge,
not just unveil, not just reduction in ktrace clarity, I see no upside
and only downsides.

But secondly, I see no future in any other ideas of reducing system calls,
since they are the fundamental interface to do a request without magic.

This time thing is magic becuase it has to be (latency and accuracy),
but I see no future for anything else being magic.

If you make -T take options noone will use it, and the exercise is
pointless.  Noone is going to manually set the environment variable,
that much I can tell you also...
