The biggest problem with StopWatch and the other time classes is working out
exactly how they should work and inter-relate, particularly re formats
(everybody has their own favorite).
And interestingly, its not entirely obvious to me as to what the getXxx
methods return - is it a string or a number? Whats the format? How is
localization dealt with? ((see also joda.sourceforge.net))
