I totally agree that it would be desirable to have a library that help
writing such *really* trivial translators. (libtrivtrivfs?... ;-) )

But as you mention yourself, this is not at all specific to proc; there
are totally different kinds of translators that could use such a library
just as well.

I think this is out of scope for the procfs project. Maybe some followup
project...
