This function is deprecated. To measure the duration of execution of a block of code, use measureTime or measureTimedValue instead. To mark a point in time for querying the duration of time interval elapsed from that point, use TimeSource.Monotonic.markNow instead. The resulting Duration then can be expressed as a Long number of milliseconds using Duration.inWholeMilliseconds.
