I implemented crude profiling: after evaluating an expression, a table can be

+printed out showing the number of procedure and primitive calls.
A pair of eq-based hash tables are used to store the running call counts.
Performance does seem to be negatively effected (eg (fib 12) took 10+ seconds
using a very crude algorithm vs. almost instant in the top level repl), but
that might just be the generic dispatch stuff.

symbols, not their string representations. I wanted to make sure that the
same procedure by different names would be counted together, but in the end
it looks like a big mess. My scmutils-enabled version of MIT Scheme has a
procedure-name method that does the trick, but it doesn't seem to be in the
default distribution so I left it out.
