[MLton-devel] MLton and profiling

No, because you get call graphs that look like

a1 -> fold
...
an -> fold
fold -> b1
...
fold -> bn

This is much less precise than

a1 -> fold1
...
am -> foldn
fold1 -> b1
...
foldn -> bn

The imprecision is especially bad when you use the path primitives of
mlprof's -graph option.
