           Summary: Web Inspector: "Exclude" button in Profiles view
                    should really be called "Charge Symbol to Caller" (or
                    similar) (affects Leaks Viewer)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All

The Inspector's Profile view currently has an "Exclude" button. But what it does is really the same as this feature from Shark:

> Charge Symbol X to Callers— Removes any callstack frames containing the symbol X, and frames of functions called by X, effectively reassigning time spent in those functions to the callers.

"Exclude" is a confusing name for this behavior, and will become even more confusing if "Remove Callstacks with Symbol" is added (see bug 56191), since that is another form of "exclusion".
