Utility to time function execution

[orhanbalci]

It would be nice to have a utility function that tracks execution time of a given closure or function.

If I understand you right, you're looking for something that takes in a function, and returns a new function with the same inputs as the original function, but calling it would return a pair consisting of the original result, as well as the elapsed time? I'm not sure that belongs in the library itself, but it should be something pretty straightforward to make.

Anyone have thoughts?

Let me know if you have any more questions.
