Hi Barry,

M-x apropos RET profile

didn't show `elp-instrument-function' and related tools.

Thats probably, because non of them has the name "profile" in it.
Suggest an alias as delivered with patch.

Thanks

Andreas Röhler

I don't see a need for every function to have every possible related
keyword appear somewhere in its name. Elp is the first match in the
Elisp manual when searching for "profiling".

I don't see a need to keep open this particular report, which was marked
"wontfix" some time ago.
