I thought a similar way but met a problem.  We have other output columns
than 'overhead' like 'period' in this example.  What about others?
Adding all event names for each column will just increase the column
width so bothers user IMHO - especially for pmu format events.

So I ended up printing those events on the header:

  # Samples: 86  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
