This doesn't make a whole lot of sense. One of the reasons
GHC-compiled code is so fast is that it turns into straight-line code
whenever possible, via inlining, primitive optimizations, etc.
I suppose there could be an option for the STG machine[1] to increment
a counter on every "Enter", which loosely corresponds to a beta
reduction, but the STG machine is only an island in the sea of
compiled code GHC creates.

Does GHC supports/has a command for counting total beta reductions taken by a program?
Thanks.
