// Histogram and Summary to add observations.

// The ObserverFunc type is an adapter to allow the use of ordinary
// functions as Observers. If f is a function with the appropriate
// signature, ObserverFunc(f) is an Observer that calls f.
//
// This adapter is usually used in connection with the Timer type, and there are
// two general use cases:
//
// The most common one is to use a Gauge as the Observer for a Timer.
// See the "Gauge" Timer example.
//
// The more advanced use case is to create a function that dynamically decides
// which Observer to use for observing the duration. See the "Complex" Timer
// example.

// instances.

// NewTimer creates a new Timer. The provided Observer is used to observe a
// duration in seconds. Timer is usually used to time a function call in the
// following way:
//    func TimeMe() {
//        timer := NewTimer(myHistogram)
//        defer timer.ObserveDuration()
//        // Do actual work.
//    }

		begin:    time.Now(),
		observer: o,

// 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.
