Currently the output is grouped by namespace. To highlight the locality of functionality a mode to group by found address (first location for multiple hits, e.g.).

#991 would help to avoid reprocessing the entire file again, just to show results differently

Research direction

Define the alternative grouping by found address, including the first location for multiple hits, and verify that results can be rendered differently without another full-file pass.
