[phobos] Proposal of StopWatch module

[Andrei Alexandrescu]

That's fine because UpperCamel is a user-defined type, even if it's just 
an enum.

If you grep std/ for "enum", you'll see that the vast majority of enums 
have type LikeThis and value likeThis.

As use of constants is very widespread in D compared to other languages 
(due to extensive static processing), having all caps names all over the 
place could become annoying.
