I did think of that at the start. There were two issues for me:
1. I didn't want to expose the internal node to the caller and complicate
the interface
2. In my scenario ( a language engine, that *might* be timing things in the
repl or *might not* be timing things at runtime in a storm topology, there may
not be a watch at all, so having:
if(context.WatchOptional.isPresent())(
try(xxxxxx){
TIMED_FUNCTION()
}
} else {
TIMED_FUNCTION()
}
didn't seem as clean.
