Alright, then I will send later v2 where the "internal" implementation
(filtering out based on regex) stays similar (filter_out will stay in
the code without being exposed to users, filter_in will be removed). And
the exposed option of "safe" probing will just apply the
"(trace|write_user)" filter_out pattern. Does it sound good?
