Replace it, but only as they register themselves with a particular
function. Imagine a profiler doing something vaguely like this:

class FunctionStats:
    def __init__(self):
        self.info = [whatever, whatever, blah blah]

def profile(func):
    """Decorator to mark a function for profiling"""
    func.__code__.co_extra += (FunctionStats(),)
    return func

Tuple immutability impacts the initialization only. After that, you
just iterate over it.
