Debug::timer() method

Measure time between two events

First call should be to $key = Debug::timer() with no params, or provide your own key that's not already been used Second call should pass the key given by the first call to get the time elapsed, i.e. $time = Debug::timer($key). Note that you may make multiple calls back to Debug::timer() with the same key and it will continue returning the elapsed time since the original call. If you want to reset or remove the timer, call removeTimer or resetTimer.
