-Currently only a simple increment is supported. This is not atomic so

+There is also a facility to add inline instructions doing various operations,
+like adding or storing an immediate value. It is also possible to execute a
+callback conditionally, with condition being evaluated inline. All those inline
+operations are associated to a ``scoreboard``, which is a thread-local storage
+automatically expanded when new cores/threads are created and that can be

+operations and conditional callbacks offer a more efficient way to instrument
+binaries, compared to classic callbacks.

 invoked.
