Paolo.
The effect of our instrumentation is a meaningful trace of the behavior
of containers, algorithms and iterators, and their interaction. This
abstraction level is above what normal profiling tools can offer. If we
used normal profiling tools, we would have to reverse engineer the trace
to get to this level of abstraction. Let me know if you want me to go
into more detail.
