/**
 * Many Gecko operations (painting, reflows, restyle, ...) can be tracked
 * in real time. A marker is a representation of one operation. A marker
 * has a name, start and end timestamps. Markers are stored in docShells.
 *
 * This module exposes this tracking mechanism. To use with devtools' RDP,
 * use devtools/server/actors/timeline.js directly.
 *
 * To start/stop recording markers:
 *   timeline.start()
 *   timeline.stop()
 *   timeline.isRecording()
 *
 * When markers are available, an event is emitted:
 *   timeline.on("markers", function(markers) {...})
