/**
 * Simple stopwatch timer.
 * Usage:   { ElapsedTimer et = new ElapsedTimer(); 
 *            do_some_stuff;  
 *            System.out.println("It took " + et + " to do stuff."); }
 *
 * Advanced:   { ElapsedTimer et = new ElapsedTimer("Thing2's time: {0}");  // messageformat pattern
 *            do_thing_2();  
 *            System.out.println(et.toString()); }
 *
 * More advanced:  NumberFormat and/or MessageFormat can be provided in the constructor
