how to print the timestamps as well?

[randomgambit]

Hello !

Thanks for this very useful package. I use tictoc quite a bit. I wonder if it would be possible to add a extended argument to tic() so that not only the elapsed time in seconds is available, but also the starting and ending timestamps (in GMT). What would be very useful to check that programs ran correctly.

What do you think?
Thanks!

When looking into the documentation to see if this was possible, came across this.

func.tic
Function producing the formatted message with a signature f(tic, toc, msg, ...). Here, parameters tic and toc are the elapsed process times in seconds, so the time elapsed between the tic() and toc() calls is computed by toc - tic. msg is the string passed to the tic() call.

Because, it's already process time in seconds, there is no way to format the way you want to and convert to timestamps in func.toc like here.

I am assuming this will involve having to change how the package works itself.
