Majority is often wrong or at least lazy. But yeah, this is a waste of
time. Do whatever. You also use inline keyword in C files in your
libbpf patches.. I think kernel style rules should apply.

It's more of a question if we're going to have more formats. If not
then c as keyword is probably fine (although its worryingly short).
If we start adding more then a key value would be better. Let's take a
gamble and if we add 2 more output types I'll say "I told you so"? :)
