public @interface Timed
    An annotation for marking a method of an annotated object as timed.

    Given a method like this: 

    
     @Timed(name = "fancyName")
     public String fancyName(String name) {
         return "Sir Captain " + name;
     }

    A timer for the defining class with the name fancyName will be created and each time the #fancyName(String) method is invoked, the method's execution will be timed.
