Yes, I would like to extend objref infra later once this is accepted.

Yes, but first nft needs to be able to construct some meaningful output
again.  If we don't attach a specific label (such as filename), we need
to be able to reconstruct info based on what we can query via id/tag and
bpf syscall.

objref infra doesn't help here unless we'll force something like
'nft-defined-objref-name-must-match-elf-binary-name', and I find that
terrible.

Hmmm, I did not consider it a huge deal, its an ebpf program so
users can dispatch to another program.

Objref is nice if the program to run should be selected from a criterion that isn't
readily available to a sk_filter program though.
