I don't see a lot of competency required... pascal is more or less like
C and (at least in Borland) the object system was quite simple... it's
more like "you usually don't program in pascal because people already
know C" :P

It's some kind of raw report more or less resembling the call tree.
Probably its used behind the scene for that. Funny thing is the option
is documented but the file format or usage is not.
Anyway I opened a ticket asking for explanation, maybe these would be
useful to implement.
