I'm stumped.  I want to know how many times a certain function is
called inside a lexical block without actually running that block of
code.  For example:

        foo {
            bar();
            bar();
            bar();
        };

Assuming foo() is prototyped (&), how could it know that bar() is
called three times in that block without actually running it?

I'd like to avoid a filter.  Maybe reading the opcodes with B?


(This is a generalization of a problem we've run into on perl-qa).
