You can do something like that with Permissions, the msdn web site has
some info on it. If you want something more general you need to either
do some preprocessing (to the sources or to the generated IL code) or
use the profiling interface.

The profiling interface in mono doesn't let you do that, yet, though it
should not be hard to add.
