Desception

Timer class. Also provides a block method for running a timed procedure.

Usage

  require 'facet/timer'

  timed { |timer|

     timer.total_time.round #=> 0

     sleep 1
     timer.total_time.round #=> 1

     timer.stop
     timer.total_time.round #=> 1

     sleep 2
     timer.total_time.round #=> 1

     timer.start
     timer.total_time.round #=> 1

     sleep 1
     timer.total_time.round #=> 2

  }

Notes

I would like to take this and meger it with TimeLimit in some manner.
