I've purged PTRACE_XFER_TYPE from the file entirely.

What about the argument that it causes source uglification because
PEEKUSER and PEEKUSER_3464 have different calling sequences in the
libc funtion, but not the syscall?
For the record, my current source follows.
I'll get rid of the use of the syscall if required, but my 2 cents
say it looks cleaner this way.
