I think I would change the emphasis in the introduction. While obviously this is important for developers who want timing information, more importantly it supports developers trying to build in logical timing information to present to their users. So, the developer is the intended audience of the timinghooks package, but their own users are the intended users of the resulting timing information. The developer decides what logical groupings make sense for their code, but this makes it easy for these to be available in final production code, without lots of extra time.time() and print() statements. Does that make sense?

Possibly also worth noting that while it can be installed separately, it is likely that including this module with the code for the developer's own software is a more appropriate way to use it (at least, I think so ?). That avoids having it as a separate dependency, with all the potential traps involved.

The most useful statistic provided is the 'total'. The others are there for more detailed analysis if desired, but probably much less useful in general.

I possibly should add all of the above points to the doco for the package itself......
