/**
@brief %Profiler

Measures time passed during specified sections of each frame. It's meant to be
used in rendering and event loops (e.g. @ref Platform::Sdl2Application::drawEvent()),
but it's possible to use it standalone elsewhere. Example usage:
@code
DebugTools::Profiler p;

// Register named sections
struct {
    DebugTools::Profiler::Section ai, physics, draw, bufferSwap;
} sections;
sections.ai = p.addSection("AI");
sections.physics = p.addSection("Physics");
sections.draw = p.addSection("Drawing");
sections.bufferSwap = p.addSection("Buffer swap");

// Enable profiling
p.enable();

// Mark sections in draw function
void MyApplication::drawEvent() {
    p.start();

    // ... misc stuff belonging to "Other" section

    p.start(sections.ai);

    // ... AI computation

    p.start(sections.physics);

    // ... physics simulation

    p.start(sections.draw);

    camera.draw(drawables);

    p.start(sections.bufferSwap);

    swapBuffers();

    // Count everything before next call to drawEvent() into "Other" section
    p.start();

    // Mark start of next frame
    p.nextFrame();
}

// Print statistics to debug output, showing how much time each section took
p.printStatistics();
@endcode

It's possible to start profiler only for certain parts of the code and then
stop it again using @ref stop(), if you are not interested in profiling the rest.

@todo Some unit testing
@todo More time intervals
