That's a good angle. Profiling is currently done by the -profile switch, 
and there are a couple of library functions associated with it. To my 
surprise, that documentation page has not been ported to the dlang.org 
style: http://digitalmars.com/ctg/trace.html

I haven't yet thought whether std.benchmark should add more 
profiling-related primitives. I'd opine for releasing it without such 
for the time being.


Thanks,

Andrei
