Description: The tracer traces system calls to determine inputs and outputs. This is very slow and should only be used as a last resort when there are no other suitable handlers.

FIXME: Implement this using ptrace directly. This will eliminate the dependency on strace, as it is not installed by default. It will also eliminate the small amount of overhead of spawning an extra process.
