Comment:

 I suggest {{{cabal configure --profile-this-library}}} to add {{{-auto-
 all}}} to a library's profiling options, and {{{cabal configure --custom-
 profiling}}} to remove it from an executable's profiling options.

 If the GHC ways system ever supports it, I would also like to be able to
 build a library both {{{-prof}}} and {{{-prof -auto-all}} for future use.
 This would then require some interface to select which profiling versions
 of libraries to use downstream.
