//Apparently something like this works with my toolchain. Not sure about
the illustration. Probably a language standards difference.
elapsed_timer::nanosecond_type const elapsed_timer::elapsed() {

    //The auto type exposes system and user. Not sure why.
    auto elapsed_times = m_timer.elapsed();
    //Result elapsed time is system plus user.
    return elapsed_times.system + elapsed_times.user;
}

FWIW, I am building with Sourcery CodeBench which I believe is GCC 4.7.2
toolchain.
