1//! # High-Precision Timer
2//! 
3//! Ultra-fast timer implementation with nanosecond precision.
4//! 
5//! ## Features
6//! 
7//! - **Nanosecond precision** - Using system high-resolution clocks
8//! - **Zero allocation** - Pure stack operations
9//! - **RAII support** - Automatic timing with scoped timers
10//! - **Lock-free** - Never blocks, never waits
11//! - **Cache optimized** - Aligned to prevent false sharing
