 'ghc --help' suggests the use of -auto-all (see below), but according to
 [#r1 [1]], "-fprof-auto was known as -auto-all prior to GHC 7.4.1." I
 assume this means that GHC >= 7.4.1 should not mention -auto-all, and that
 -fprof-auto should be suggested instead.

 {{{
 $ ghc --help
 ...
     -prof           Compile for cost-centre profiling
                      (add -auto-all for automagic cost-centres on all
                       top-level functions)
 ...
 }}}
