I get that Arun is in agreement, everything seems OK, but we need to do
a better job on describing why we add code, the context we have now from
all these discussions will be mostly lost, say, 5 years from now when we
try to figure out why something was done in some way,

It seems like an option is needed for all the sample attributes.
Timestamp is now covered (-T). Sample address is covered (-d). Callchain
(-g). This targets period (-P). I think that just leaves CPU, and we are
out of c/C options. ;-)
