New issue 31516 by megazzt: No JavaScript call to trigger a heap snapshot
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=31516

Google Chrome   4.0.266.0 (Official Build 33992)
WebKit  532.6
V8      2.0.3.1
User Agent      Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)
AppleWebKit/532.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.266.0 Safari/532.6

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use for (var i in console) { console.log(console[i]); } to dump the list
of supported functions;
2. Note the lack of a function to take a heap snapshot (and I'm not sure
where else one would be.)

What is the expected result?

There should be a function such as console.takeHeapSnapshot

What happens instead?

There is no such function.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

A workaround is to use the debugger keyword to suspend JavaScript execution
, take a snapshot by hand, and then resume but I can see this getting old
fast.

Since console appears to be implementing the Firebug Console API perhaps
you might not want to add more functions there, but you already have a
.markTimeline so I figure this is unlikely.
