Description

Summary:

The use and syntax of profile blocks is under-documented. A section in the users guide would be great, especially addressing:

  • profiling overhead, if any
  • Are profiling blocks like regular blocks (e.g. local variables drop at the end)
  • How and when to use them

This will also be helpful for #396
