 It would be useful if heap profile data could be reported in the eventlog
 (either by assigning samples with IDs and recording the sample in the
 eventlog, or putting the entire profile information in the eventlog). This
 would make it easier to correlate heap profile data with other events
 reported by the RTS.

 It may be hard to stuff the entire sample in the eventlog because the
 sample is arbitrary size.
