Are you aware of 'perf annotate --stdio2' ? If the goal is to make the
stdio mode better, doing it in that mode would be best, as it was done
to share as much code as possible, not just the looks, with the TUI
mode.

I kept --stdio around because changing the output in that way could
annoy people used to that format.

Please take a look at 'man perf-config' and see what can be configured
for both 'perf annotate --tui' and 'perf annotate --stdio2'.

Perhaps we can do something like:

perf config annotate.stdio=tui_like

And, for completeness have:

perf config annotate.stdio=classical

wdyt?

Looking at the other patches now.
