// This module provide three implementations of a stopwatch:
//
// - ModernStopwatch: Requires iOS 10+, macOS 10.12+, tvOS 10+, watchOS 3+.
// - LegacyStopwatch: Compatible with all OS versions, but slower.
// - UnsynchronizedStopwatch: Fastest, but not thread-safe.
//
// The typealias "Stopwatch" is set to ModernStopwatch.  Change that
// if you want to use one of the other implementations by default.
