I like it.

I have found the behavior "negative syscall number => skip syscall" defined
only for PTRACE_EVENT_SECCOMP in the manual. I'd restrict the option to this
case, for safety.

A minimal detail: I'd also rename "force" into "skip" or "skip_syscall", just
for the sake of readability.

Dmitry: does this proposal have counter effects for strace?
