Comment(by simonmar):

 I haven't reviewed the patch itself yet, but I have two high-level
 concerns (neither of which is a deal-breaker):

 * I'm not convinced that the changed semantics of cost-centre stacks
 works.  However, I'm not convinced that the currently implemented
 semantics of cost-centre stacks works either.

 * I'm not sure that people will want to pay the overhead of profiling to
 get resource limits.
