On a related note, e/f/c/prof are completely buried in the docs.  I
spent a good 10 minutes last night trying to find them.  Yes, they're
in the index, but to get to them from the main doc page, you have to
choose "Tool Applications" and then "Tools."  C'mon, just add a
top-level section called "Debugging and Profiling Tools."
