Wwy do we have "enable-" as the "tag" for this?
Also is it possible to use "enable sched:*" and have that match what is
in the evlist and enable (or disable, if using "disable sched:*") what
matches?
This second suggestion can be done on top of this, i.e. as an
enhancement, but mixing up the command (enable, disable) with its
arguments looks strange.
