The Chronometer class is used to measure times in various units. It acts as a sports stop
watch. It can be very handy to measure program perfomances and help optimization.
Allowed time units go from 
seconds to plain seconds.

Description
See section 3.2 for a full reference of the Chronometer::Unit
class.
-
˜Chronometer () -
Destroys this chronometer. Does pretty nothing.
-
Chronometer (const Chronometer::Unit& unit) -
Constructs this chronometer with a given time unit. There is no default
constructor because the time measure unit must always be known. This
chronometer is started (time set to zero) in the constructor.
-
Chronometer (const Chronometer& chronometer) -
Clones chronometer into this. The time unit property is copied and this
chronometer is started (zeroed).
-
Chronometer& operator = (const Chonometer& chronometer) -
Clones chronometer into this chronometer. The time unit property is copied
and this chronometer is started (zeroed).
-
Chronometer::Unit unit () const -
Returns this chronometer’s time measure unit.
-
void start () -
Starts this chronometer. Sets measured time to zero.
-
void stop () -
Stops this chronometer. Sets measued time to the difference between now
and the start time.
-
double time () const -
Returns the measured time difference between this chronometer’s start and
now or the stop time if stop was invoked in some place after a construction,
a cloning, or a start.
