But the idea would be to somehow register a file descriptor as having been created by `inotify_init/inotify_init1`, and then reads from this file descriptor would show the decoded `struct inotify_event` instead of interpreting it as a string.

These descriptors could be identified using readlink of /proc/$pid/fd/$fd,
strace already employs this method for other purposes, so yes, this should
be technically possible.
