Julia: stdlib: rename Profile to Profiler?
The built-in profiler package is not named quite like other Julia packages and I often find myself doing using Profiler when I have to do using Profile. Should we rename it?

I 100% agree. I'm working on a big reorganization of the profiler on the sf/memprofiler branch so I'll just roll this into that.

Eh... I don't think we can do this rename before the infrastructure allows it.

I like the proposal. Would the macro still be called @profile? Or if the package is named Profiler, will folks want it to be @profiler foo(args...)?
Even though I like the noun for the "package" name, I kind of like the verb form for the action you want to take.

Agreed.

What do you mean by this? You mean having depwarns for module bindings?
