have been thinking back and forth on this one.
Finally convinced myself that we shouldn't be forcing it here.
object__method style would force the library to look like fake
object oriented whereas it's not. It's a normal C. Let's keep it
simple. Objects are not needed here. May be 'bpf_object' is an
unfortunate name, but it doesn't make the library to be 'ooo'.
libtraceevent doesn't use this style either...
