I would suggest integrating it with the -e option, allowing _any_ kind
of specifiable event to be counted to determine when to stop tracing
that event or to stop strace altogether. Then while you would be using
it to count a maximum of fork() calls, someone else might find value in
stopping tracing after some number of open() calls.
