[phobos] Proposal of StopWatch module

[David Simcha]

As part of general clean-up of Phobos, I propose the following:

1.  We update the %(&#$# style guide to not say this.

2.  Anywhere where the OLD_SCHOOL style is used, for example:

enum MyEnum {
    /// Has DDoc.
    FOO,

    /// Has DDoc
    BAR
}

we should simply change to:

enum MyEnum {
    /// Has DDoc
    foo,

    /// Has DDoc
    bar,

    // Undocumented, for compatibility only.
    FOO = foo,

    // Undocumented, for compatibility only.
        BAR = bar
}

I'll be doing this in my dstats library and I think we should gradually do
it in Phobos as a "fixing broken windows" when already working on a module.

Also, do we want the first letter to be or not be capitalized?  MyEnum.Foo
or MyEnum.foo?  There's inconsistency within Phobos about this, too.
