Hi Linus!

We (Google, Stephane Eranian, ..) have a tool that converts Intel's
topdown metrics:
https://download.01.org/perfmon/TMA_Metrics.xlsx
into the json format used for metrics in perf. It is written in C++
and we are planning to upstream it. In C++ there is preference for
anonymous namespaces over static functions and the namespace
indentation was pretty annoying for this. There's a little more
motivation in the commit message too.

Thanks,
Ian Rogers
