One way that may work is to 

- switch to a new proper syntax for bpf
(like bpf("filename")) that can be parsed properly

- handle simple cases like just that file name in the old syntax
in a pre processing pass of the scanner that converts it.

- users who specify multiple scripts or combine with other events
in the same -e line would need to change their syntax, but I assume that's
relatively rare.
