Runtime injection of temporary debug code

We're building a developer tool (currently a VSCode / Cursor extension) that helps performance optimization engineers. One of the things we hated when analyzing performance and writing kernels ourselves was that things like timing code or TorchRecord or NVTX markers couldn't be permanent. Either the instrumented code went out-of-sync and merge conflicted with the original branch or we had to keep remembering to remove it before merging the optimized branch.

When building our dev tool we decided to try out runtime injection of these statements with Python AST rewriting. You basically highlight a region in VSCode / Cursor, say the type of AST injection you want to do, it stores it in a config and you can use our SDK to inject this code at runtime without actually editing your source code.

We don't want to limit this to just TorchRecord and NVTX markers, so if you think you could benefit from this, we'd really appreciate contributions and suggestions for new injectors - or tell us why you think this is a terrible idea :)
