While this has nothing to do with your (fine as always ;) rant, I just
need to add a comment (which has everything to do with /proc
stupidities):

Imagine I had a process with the (admittedly unlikely but entirely
possible) name 'pine) S 1205 ('

Your stat output would read:
1214 (pine) S 1205 () S 1205 1214 1205 34816 1214 0 767 0 872 0 22 15 0 0 15 0 0 0

4294959106 0 0 134221827 1073835100 3222429229 0 0 17 0 0 0 22 15 0 0

Parsing the ASCII-art in /proc/mdstat is at least as fun  ;)
