Looking ahead into the future, I was also thinking that if this becomes
robust, we could also start an integration specification, that could
describe how different system calls interact with each other. Like
open() to read(), write() and close().

But this is just an idea that popped in my head while reading this
thread. We want to start small first, but still could keep this in the
back of our minds for future enhancements.
