FYI from the user point of view I find the output more readable with /f.
But I do not have practical experience with it, I am fine with it as you wrote
it if you think so.

Just now when playing with the branch the commands record disassemble vs. list
vs. backtrace should have some better short description in the help text.
Particularly record backtrace I had some difficult to understand first.

record disassemble:
Print disassembled instructions as stored in the execution log.

record backtrace:
Print function names from which instruction in the execution log ran.

recost list:
<it is currently not implemented in archer-mmetzger-btrace and I did not dig
out the former patches>

This is just a suggestion, maybe Eli could also suggest some better
formulation.

Thanks,
Jan
