    * ``-X showalloccount`` to output the total count of allocated objects for
      each type when the program finishes. This only works when Python was built with
      ``COUNT_ALLOCS`` defined.
-   * ``-X importtime`` to show how long each import takes. It shows module name,
-     cumulative time (including nested imports) and self time (exluding nested
