	It sounds easy, but it is in fact highly nontrivial.
	
	Both THINK Pascal and THINK C come with code profilers; THINK C's
can profile at the function level, and THINK Pascal's can profile at the
statement level. Neither requires any modification of the source, except
for calls to initialize and terminate profiling and to dump the results.
