Displaying both <u>informations</u> in the 2 first columns was very handy.<br>The current SEP seems to present 2 separated subsets of <u>functions,</u> as if things are planned to become separated. This is quite unclear.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Reforging things should be a major opportunity to suppress the splitting in many functions just vs the action.<br>Hence, the former add_profiling, remove_profiling, reset_profiling were <u>painfull</u> because inventing, maintaining, documenting and using 3 separate functions just because of ONE parameter is changing -- the action -- <u>imo</u> was <u>imo</u> meaningless. This is a low-level kind of design, whereas Scilab is a high-level language, the language should be integrated: I rather expect using<br><b>profile(action, target [, options])</b> with for instance <b>action = "on"|"off"|"reset"|"disp"|"html"</b>|<b>"plot"</b>...<br>In this way, things are open. If other actions have to be added <u>latter</u>, the prototype won't change, and no need to have <u>a Nth</u> function and Nth documentation page in 5 natural languages.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>In the SEP, the fact that restoring a display in text mode in the console is planned does not explicitly appear. Nor the planned order of columns of results. Both aspects are really killing details. When improving the code, i never felt the need of having pleasant colored reports.
