 Hm, something like that might be doable, though it's certainly annoying.  
 Can I compile some modules with "-profile" and some without, and the  
 linker will "do the right thing"?

 Yes, you can. Some module will get instrumented, while others wont.
 You can have a look into profiler implementation in phobos/internal/trace.d
 
 You can write your own implementation, too!


Hm, that's very interesting, I had no idea that part was open source. I'm a bit
unclear on how it all fits together though, especially since I use Tango. I'm
guessing the compiler inserts calls to certain functions in trace.d if it is
invoked with the "-profile" switch? If so, where does that object code reside
in my dmd installation? My dmd/import/std directory contains only very little
stuff, and this doesn't seem to be there. So I'm guessing it must be in
dmd/lib, but there is no phobos.lib there. Is that part compiled into one of
the Tango libraries when I use Tango? If so, shouldn't that code be in the
Tango repository somewhere too? Couldn't find it there, either.

Sorry for that slew of questions...

That's ok. The implementation is compiled into snn.lib
