I was about to work on this :-) I think we should use the same option
'report' uses:
OPT_STRING('t', "field-separator", &symbol_conf.field_sep, "separator",
"separator for columns, no spaces will be added between "
"columns '.' is reserved."),
[root@mica ~]# perf record -F 100000 ls > /dev/null
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.041 MB perf.data (~1798 samples) ]
[root@mica ~]# perf report --stdio -t, | head -10
# Events: 1K cycles

Spaces are being added, gack, will fix. Tried to use the same option letter and
long option name as in 'sort':
-t, --field-separator=SEP
use SEP instead of non-blank to blank transition
But then 'perf stat' already uses -t for --tid, so in 'stat' we would have to
use '-x'/--field-separator.
Argh, I think we should stop using short options, only assigning something when
it gets from seldomly used to just before making it the default 8-)
