Humm, I think here we should just use --trace_fields, like what appears
in the output for each line below, and also as is the case for the '-s
trace_fields' case, ok?

With:

  $ . ~/git/linux/tools/perf/perf-completion.sh 
  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf evlist --
  --force    --freq     --group    --input    --verbose  
  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf evlist --

We can autocomplete it from --t<TAB> anyway :)

Unsure about '-T', perhaps this is so specialized, that can remain with
just the long option?

Perhaps we can add a tip, when we run:

  perf evlist

And there are tracepoint events, something like:

  perf evlist -v
  sched:sched_switch ...
  # Tip use 'perf evlist --trace_fields' to show fields for events such
  # as "sched:sched_switch"
