Yeah, we don't really want to have this be a command-line option.

The performance issue is really just a consequence of process-based
privilege separation. We could enter capability mode when processing
the last (or only) file specified on the command line (or stdio),
giving us the benefit of sandboxing for a large fraction of uses of
these tools without incurring much overhead.
