///
/// [Flow] objects are used to thread flow events between timeline slices,
/// for example, those created with the [Timeline] class below. Adding
/// [Flow] objects cause arrows to be drawn between slices in Chrome's trace
/// viewer. The arrows start at e.g [Timeline] events that are passed a
/// [Flow.begin] object, go through [Timeline] events that are passed a
/// [Flow.step] object, and end at [Timeline] events that are passed a
/// [Flow.end] object, all having the same [Flow.id]. For example:
///
/// ```dart
/// var flow = Flow.begin();
/// Timeline.timeSync('flow_test', () {
///   doSomething();
/// }, flow: flow);
///
/// Timeline.timeSync('flow_test', () {
///   doSomething();
/// }, flow: Flow.step(flow.id));
///
/// Timeline.timeSync('flow_test', () {
///   doSomething();
/// }, flow: Flow.end(flow.id));
/// ```
