Yeah, will require some inspection into how this works and what
information we have available; if that indicator isn't present and
upstream doesn't want to add it, we can still opt to hook into the
write calls and make the information available that way.

I can't imagine there is completely no way to do this; a first example,
strace, comes to mind that can do this. So a stripped down form of that
would be one way to do it. Assuming we can't get direct information.
