OK, I wasn't sure how it worked. But this really doesn't help much for 
fine-grained statistics gathering. In what situations does this function 
get called by the compiler? If it's just for closures, we can lump all 
closure allocations together in one stat. If you see closures are your 
big nemesis, it may be time to redesign :)
