Hi Brandon, I finally got around to trying out your template profiler.
Looks good, but I'm having trouble using the output. I get:

Profiling Instantiations on main.cpp:

Instrumenting Code...
Running Profile...
Finalizing Data...

Total instantiations: 2894

Call Graph

Location                                                : (count / cum.)

c:\boost\org\trunk\libs\proto\scratch\main.cpp(37)
                                : (1)

    c:\boost\org\trunk\boost\fusion\support\is_segmented.hpp(22) : (1/1)
    c:\boost\org\trunk\boost\fusion\support\is_segmented.hpp(26) : (1/2)
    c:\boost\org\trunk\boost\fusion\support\is_segmented.hpp(46) : (1/2)
<...much more snipped...>

I expected to see the names of templates, ordered by which were
instantiated the most frequently. Is there a way to get that output?
