// NewTimer creates a new Timer. The provided Observer is used to observe a

// following way:
//    func TimeMe() {
//        timer := NewTimer(myHistogram)
//        defer timer.ObserveDuration()
//        // Do actual work.
//    }

// ObserveDuration records the duration passed since the Timer was created with
// NewTimer. It calls the Observe method of the Observer provided during
// construction with the duration in seconds as an argument. ObserveDuration is
// usually called with a defer statement.
//
// Note that this method is only guaranteed to never observe negative durations
// if used with Go1.9+.
