That was on v3.10. Here it is on 6d895ece5, which is currently acme's
perf/core.

For example, in an application with an expensive function
implemented with deeply nested recursive calls, the default
call-graph presentation is dominated by the different callchains
within that function. By ignoring these callees, we can collect
the callchains leading into the function and compactly identify
what to blame for expensive calls.
For example, in this report the callers of garbage_collect() are
scattered across the tree:
$ perf report -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
22.03% ruby [.] gc_mark
--- gc_mark
|--59.40%-- mark_keyvalue
| st_foreach
| gc_mark_children
| |--99.75%-- rb_gc_mark
| | rb_vm_mark
| | gc_mark_children
| | gc_marks
| | |--99.00%-- garbage_collect
If we ignore the callees of garbage_collect(), its callers are coalesced:
$ perf report --ignore-callees garbage_collect -d ruby 2>- | grep -m10 ^[^#]*[a-z]
72.92% ruby [.] garbage_collect
--- garbage_collect
vm_xmalloc
|--47.08%-- ruby_xmalloc
| st_insert2
| rb_hash_aset
| |--98.45%-- features_index_add
| | rb_provide_feature
| | rb_require_safe
| | vm_call_method
