I had an opportunity to think about this feature a bit longer,
and now I see two issues I missed before.

The first issue is the choice of option name.  While -y option enables
*additional* decoding of descriptors, and -yy was planned for extended
decoding of descriptors like socket decoding, this feature *changes*
decoding of all paths.  I'd rather not mix these things.

The second issue is *at syscalls.  This implementation assumes that all
non-absolute paths are relative to cwd, but that is not necessarily the
case for *at syscalls.
