/// Stopwatch w/ accumulation.
///
/// This utility can be used to gauge the duration of something. The clock
/// is started by default upon construction. Users can query the running time
/// using the at(), or using the pretty() convenience.
///
/// This timer features an accumulator state so the clock can be stopped and
/// continued, and each time the accumulator is updated. The accumulator
/// value is always added into results: when the timer is stopped, the result
/// is simply the accumulator value; when the clock is running, the result is
/// the accumulator value added to the difference of the current time and the
/// last start time.
///
/// One can instantiate the timer without starting the clock with the `nostart`
/// overload. Additionally, a lambda constructor will accumulate the time it
/// takes to execute the provided function.
