Description

Allow a StopWatch to carry an optional message such that it is included as a prefix to toString and toSplitString methods if present. Quite handy for subclassing.

The behavior does not change if no message is supplied.

For example:

StopWatch stopWatch = new StopWatch("Baking cookies");
stopWatch.start();
...

Calling:

stopWatch.toString();
stopWatch.toSplitString();

returns the message as a prefix. for example:

"Baking cookies 00:01:22.333"
