Initialize this scoped guard to record an elapsed time to the metric, identified by the specified `category` and `name`, from the optionally specified `manager`. Optionally specify the `timeUnits` in which to report elapsed time. If `timeUnits` is not provided, the elapsed time will be reported in seconds. If `manager` is 0, use the `DefaultMetricsManager` instance. If no `manager` is supplied, and the default instance has not been created, this object will be inactive (i.e., it will not record any values); similarly, if the identified `category` is disabled, then this object will be inactive. The behavior is undefined unless `category` and `name` are null‐terminated. 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.
