Yes, I agree with you. However, I would suggest you download the libpfm package

This package contains very simple examples on how one can use the interface.

I am currently working on fixing the remaining issues you reported in your feedback.
As for the biggest change which is to drop UUID in favor of strings, I have decided
to make the switch.
