Does anyone have thoughts on this topic? I assume the silence is because
this suggestion is too trivial to matter.
1 and 3 don't really need discussion here. 2 perhaps. I would open 3
separate enhancement issues. As near as I can tell, profile and
cProfile have the same API and to the extent it is true, this should be
maintained.

I use cProfile a lot, and would like to suggest three
backwards-compatible improvements to the API.
1: When using cProfile on a specific piece of code I often use the
enable() and disable() methods. It occurred to me that this would be
an obvious place to use a context manager.
2: Enhance the `print_stats` method on Profile to accept more
options currently available only through the pstats.Stats class. For
example, strip_dirs could be a boolean argument, and limit could
accept an int. This would reduce the number of cases you'd need to
use the more complex API.
3: I often forget which string keys are available for sorting. It
would be nice to add an enum for these so a user could have their
linter and IDE check that value pre-runtime. Since it would subclass
`str` and `Enum` it would still work with all currently existing code.
