I agree. That would also make adding profiling less intrusive than it is<br>
now. Consistency with `time' would also be nice. FWIW, `contract-profile'<br>
behaves like `time'.<br>
<br>
Currently `profile' and `profile-thunk' return whatever the profile<br>
renderer returns. Most renderers print their report and return void.<br>
But, as the documentation mentions, `values' can be used as a renderer<br>
in which case `profile' returns the pre-rendering analyzed profile<br>
data. Returning the result of the profiled expression would break that<br>
behavior.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, it's already possible to get the analyzed data by<br>
invoking the sampler and the analyzer directly. Changing the behavior of<br>
`profile' wouldn't remove that functionality, just make it less<br>
convenient.<br>
<br>
Does anyone rely on that behavior from `profile' and `profile-thunk'?<br>
If not, I think we should change it.<br>

> I recently tried to use profile, and didn't closely read its documentation.  I naively assumed that it would work similarly to "time" -- namely that I could simply wrap (profile ...) around my code, and my code would continue to run, but would also emit profiling information.  But of course profile returns void, so I had to tediously capture my thunk's value myself, and then arrange to have that value passed "outside" of the profile call.  Anyway ... I'd like the below snippet to print 9 not just once (from the call to "time"), but twice.<br>
