Nesting of method timers

[GeertvanHorrik]

Where it is clear that the below content has not read, the issue is likely to be closed with "please read the template". Please don't take offense at this. It is simply a time management decision. When someone raises an issue, without reading the template, then often too much time is spent going back and forth to obtain information that is outlined below.

Is the proposal related to a problem

We have a lot of timings, and are trying to figure out performance measurements. This results in a lot of "nested timings", e.g.:

Method X took '23 ms'
Method Y took '25 ms'
Method Z took '27 ms'

In this case, it's hard to see why Z takes 27, but most time is taken by X.

A proposal would be to have an (optional) scope manager that checks the depth of a method timer. This could result in:

    Method X took '23 ms'
  Method Y took '25 ms'
Method Z took '27 ms'

Describe the solution

This would be an optional feature (disabled by default).

Happy to implement this myself as a PR.

I came here looking to suggest this, so I could hierarchy my timings. I was going to suggest adding [CallerMemberName] to the method parameters so we could track what called the method in the first place.

[GeertvanHorrik]

I think I will create a PR that adds a setting to the FodyWeavers element that enables nesting (disabled by default).

Did some more thinking about this, but I think it will be complex and would require some sort of scope handling. Putting this on hold until there are some good design ideas to implement this.
