I was also a bit sceptickal when I first wrote as I found this code a bit 
complex for not so much added value.
But in my case, I do not use bpftool often, so having the command documented 
in the generated file would have been useful.
I will just find another way to document (or I think now I will not forget it 
anymore since this series).

I will send a v2 aligned on skeletons in no more than 15 minutes.
