+ * Bytecode-level profiling support based on program counter offset within
+ * functions and overall scripts.
+ *
+ * SpiderMonkey compiles functions and scripts into bytecode representation.
+ * During execution, SpiderMonkey can keep a counter of how often each bytecode
+ * (specifically, bytecodes that are the targets of jumps) is reached, to track
+ * basic information about how many times any particular bytecode in a script
+ * or function is executed. These functions allow this counting to be started
+ * and stopped, and the results of such counting to be examined.
+ *
+ * Accumulated counting data is tracked per "script" (where "script" is either
+ * a JavaScript function from source text or a top-level script or module).
+ * Accumulated PCCount data thus prevents the particular scripts that were
+ * executed from being GC'd. Once PCCount profiling has been stopped, you
+ * should examine and then purge the accumulated data as soon as possible.
+ *
+ * Much of the data tracked here is pretty internal and may only have meaning if
+ * you're familiar with bytecode and Ion details. Hence why these APIs are
+ * "experimental".
