 After talking with Simon & Simon today, we discussed ticky profiling, and
 it dawned on us that ticky probably isn't reported when the program is
 interrupted via the user.

 But it should be! The motivating case is when you're dealing with an
 infinite loop and you want to find the binding that has a high entry count
 (i.e. it's the looping body). But the only way to move forward is to
 interrupt it, which doesn't spit out the reports. Fixing this would make
 ticky much more useful in such cases.
