Programmatic Access to Profiling Data

Motivation

I would like to implement application performance monitoring integration so that continuous profilers can be used in production (e.g. https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/profiler/). The problem I've run into is that GHC only seems to export that sort of info to a file and not via the GHC.Stats package.

https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.14.0.0/docs/GHC-Stats.html

Proposal

I'd like to export that data programmatically somehow in base, though I'm not sure I'm familiar enough with GHC to implement it myself.
