ok.. I understand the intent, but that doesn't really help in many situations. 
I, too, can have my own setup at home (and give myself what I want) but I can't 
set up the whole development environment that I'm working on offsite, limiting 
the troubleshooting usefulness of dtrace.

I guess I'm looking for a way to look into the kernel state without necessarily 
being able to look into *all* kernel state - ie: selectively  for all processes 
that I control.

I don't know how feasible something like this would be, but it would be 
extremely useful for lots of larger development environments.
