That's certainly possible (I take it you're using "user space" to mean
"non-primitive function code"), although I know it's collecting some
samples at least because I've added `display' calls to statprof
itself.  One thing I just noticed is that the whole profiling process
seems to work fine if count-calls? is false -- is that part of the
unit test?

On a more general note, it would be great if statprof were more robust
/ could profile more and different types of code.  When you say "pull
statprof into guile itself," Andy, do you mean getting profiling
functionality into libguile or just including the module in the core
distribution?  (The former would be pretty sweet...)
