Initialize this scoped guard to record elapsed time using the specified `metric`. Optionally specify the `timeUnits` in which to report elapsed time. If `metric‐>isActive()` is `false`, this object will also be inactive (i.e., will not record any values). The behavior is undefined unless `metric` is a valid address of a `Metric` object. Note that `timeUnits` indicates the scale of the double value reported by this guard, but does _not_ affect the precision of the elapsed time measurement.
