It works, but there is no difference on the one line above, the header,
to help differentiate the above from:


$ perf report --hierarchy -s 'comm,dso,sym'

Also we don't warn the user that such groupings only make sense when
used with --hierarchy.

Anyway, applying the patch, those are things that can be done on top.
