Whether the intent was to annoy or just to provoke, the effect was dozens of messages with people falling over each other trying to engage the OP, who clearly was ignorant of most language design issues and uninterested in learning, and threw some insults in for good measure. The respondents

That is great news because I'd be happy to do the implementation myself if it only requires Python. (Sadly I'm not proficient in C.) I'll be coding over the next couple days preparing an example implementation, then I will open an issue on the bug tracker. /Thane On Tuesday, January 10, 2017

I hate to be "that guy" but... bump! Does anyone have thoughts on this topic? I assume the silence is because this suggestion is too trivial to matter. /Thane On Tuesday, December 20, 2016 at 5:51:49 PM UTC-7, Thane Brimhall wrote: > > I use cProfile a lot, and would like to suggest three
