How about allowing a user to define ones' own class in ~/.strace?

(cat ~/.strace)

classes:
	- name: xattr
	  - syscall: setxattr
	  - syscall: lsetxattr
	  - syscall: fsetxattr
	  - syscall: getxattr
	  - syscall: listxattr
	  - syscall: removexattr
	- name: setxattr
	  - syscall: setxattr
	  - syscall: lsetxattr
	  - syscall: fsetxattr
	
So you can do -e trace=%xattr or -e traec=%setxattr as you want.

However, I think we cannot say thie extension a microproject:-P
