/**
 * An object that measures elapsed time in nanoseconds. It is useful to measure
 * elapsed time using this class instead of direct calls to {@link
 * System#nanoTime} for a few reasons:
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>An alternate time source can be substituted, for testing or performance
 *     reasons.
 * <li>As documented by {@code nanoTime}, the value returned has no absolute
 *     meaning, and can only be interpreted as relative to another timestamp
 *     returned by {@code nanoTime} at a different time. {@code Stopwatch} is a
 *     more effective abstraction because it exposes only these relative values,
 *     not the absolute ones.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p>Basic usage:
 * <pre>
 *   Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch().{@link #start start}();
 *   doSomething();
 *   stopwatch.{@link #stop stop}(); // optional
 *
 *   long millis = stopwatch.elapsed(MILLISECONDS);
 *
 *   log.info("that took: " + stopwatch); // formatted string like "12.3 ms"
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Stopwatch methods are not idempotent; it is an error to start or stop a
 * stopwatch that is already in the desired state.
 *
 * <p>When testing code that uses this class, use the {@linkplain
 * #Stopwatch(Ticker) alternate constructor} to supply a fake or mock ticker.
 * <!-- TODO(kevinb): restore the "such as" --> This allows you to
 * simulate any valid behavior of the stopwatch.
 *
 * <p><b>Note:</b> This class is not thread-safe.
