Hi,

For some measurements, it would be nice with a timer with the following 
interface

class accumulating_timer
{
public:
    accumulating_timer(); // don't start timing
    void start();
    void stop();
    double elapsed() const;
};

The benefit here would be that we don't have to convert to seconds until 
that data is actually needed.

Thoughts?
