Hey Bryan,
Sorry for the delay.So you can do this in the same way as GHC. See

I spent a bit of time over the weekend trying to figure out how to force
the RTS to collect GC statistics, but was unable to do so.
I'm currently working on enriching criterion's ability to gather data,
among which I'd like to see GC statistics. If I try to obtain GC stats
using criterion when I'm not running the benchmark app with +RTS -T, I
get an exception.
Is there a way to allow criterion to forcibly enable stats collection?
My efforts to do so have gotten me nowhere. It would be unfortunate if I
had to tell users of criterion that they should always run with +RTS -T
or add a -rtsopts clause, as they'll simply forget.
And while I'm asking, why does GHC not simply collect GC stats by
default? Collecting them seems to have zero cost, from what I can see?

Which is imported into Haskell like this:

I'm not sure why it's marked "safe", but it doesn't hurt.
This API is kind-of public, in the sense that we deliberately expose it via the Rts.h header, and I'll try not to break it gratuitously.
Cheers,
Simon
