Something I'm missing is to exclude certain statements and distinguish between
calls to the same method from different positions. If I profile any of my
progams I often get a result like

44.44     0.04      0.04        1    40.00    80.00  Array#each

where I'm using different Array#each's that I don't want to have mixed. (E.g.
for setup and then for the routine I want to profile.)

I could extract this cases into some extra class, but it would be nicer to tell
the profiler to discern between method call at line x and line y and not to
report method calls from line y.

Regards,

Brian
