FWIW I've been playing around with it a bit. It seems useful
both for scaling problems and likely for performance regression tracking too.

Some minor issues I ran into (but no show stoppers):
- The error messages for bad -c expressions could be better
- I found the requirement for no space after -c unintuitive.
- It would be nice to have support for doing the bucketizing per line
instead of per function. With a large function and/or inlining
it's sometimes hard to identify the actual problem
Acme recently added this for perf report.

I agree it would be good to merge.
