The ratios don't need that. They work fine without merging.
It's an independent feature.

The merging is just a convenience feature for some of the uncore pmus to make
the output much more readable. For example the cbox pmu is duplicated
for each core, and we have systems with 21 cores per socket now.

So without merging you end up with something like the output below.

The second variant is much more readable.

The event name is already expressive enough. I find it fairly
straight forward that there is a ratio attached with a count.

I would call it a simple solution that works well.

I don't see any easy path for full scripting, and also I think
it would be vastly overengineered here needing a lot of 
infastructure that isn't really needed.
