There are things that I think it makes sense to cover, such as DNS
lookups, calls to external libraries for authentication, and so on.  I'm
not so sure that it is useful to distinguish things like one type of DNS
lookup from another.  Low-level operations such as file unlinking also
sounds like a reasonable thing to report separately, as long as it
doesn't break reporting for something else ...
