CHRONOSTART
debug
The CHRONOSTART function starts a stopwatch with the given name. To stop the stopwatch, call CHRONOEND. On top of recording the cumulative time between each start and end of the stopwatch, the number of calls of CHRONOSTART is recorded.
To recover the associated statistics, use CHRONOSTATS.
If calls of CHRONOSTART and CHRONOEND with the same name are nested, only the top level one is timed but each call to CHRONOSTART is counted. This allows the timing of recursive functions.
