Comment (by felix):

 Replying to [comment:2 sjamaan]:
 > The output of chicken-profile goes beyond 80 columns, resulting in hard
 to read output unless I fullscreen the terminal window.

 That depends on your font- and terminal settings and shouldn't be the case
 for everybody.
 But if this is a problem with chicken-profile, it can be addressed there.

 the egg. In CHICKEN 5, the same is true for all user code (and CHICKEN
 core too, if built with debug info, as you can see in the sample output
 above), but traces of procedures in eggs contain absolute pathnames. This
 is not very useful and actively annoying: I really don't care where an egg
 was compiled (and certainly not the full path).

 Ok, you don't care. I understand.

 where an egg is installed from is irrelevant, the only thing that matters
 is ''where in the egg'' that file exists. The full path to the chicken-
 install cache directory or the place where I happened to have the egg
 checked out doesn't tell me anything.

 Acme users, for example, can directly jump to the source-file + location,
 because the information is canonical.
