I don't see how it wouldn't have to ;-)

AFAICT it would require an extra test somewhere in Fcons, and that
test will always have to be performed.

I'm not convinced it'd make it sufficiently better to justify the cost.
I'd be OK with adding this "more precise allocation profiler" as
a compile-time option, so we could at least see if the improved
precision does make it more useful.
