No, wait. This secondary event handling is messy. I cannot convince myself it works correctly everywhere. (Try to run with `-prof async:output=jfr;event=cpu,alloc;verbose=true` to see the preview of the headache I am having now.)

Let me suggest a simpler, reduced patch: handle only single event per profiling session, for now. Then we can discuss in what form to introduce the secondary event handling.

Style: should be separated by new-line here.

Let's call these `sw` and `pw`, respectively.

Should probably call `separate()` instead of `append(',')`...
