This library is intended to fix the shortfalls of using debugprofilestop() for
getting accurate sub-second timing in addons. Specifically, this library aims
to prevent any conflicts that may arrise with multiple addons using
debugprofilestart and debugprofilestop. While perfect accuracy is not
guarenteed due to the potential for an addon to load before this library and
use the original debugprofilestart/debugprofilestop functions, this library
provides a best-effort means of correcting any issues if this is the case.
The best solution is for addons to NOT use debugprofilestart() and to NOT store
a local reference to debugprofilestop(), even if they aren't using this library
directly.
