What about people who use emacs for other things than mail ? Or
those more generally who cannot send mail from emacs (for
whatever reason).

What about collecting all these infos and prepare a buffer
containing the mail to be sent (that could be an alternate mean
to report usages).

Isn't it possible to only instrument 'eval' to get all functions
(or interesting ones) used ?
