stopStopWatch( watchID )
    Stops the stop watch and returns the elapsed time in milliseconds in form of 0.001. → createStopWatch() 
    Returns time as a number 
"

Whether or not you agree with Lynara's statement that a stopped watch
must start again from where it was stopped (which I do think would be
the expected behavior of something called a stopwatch), it seems pretty
clear that "stopping" it means that once stopped, subsequent requests
for the time on the watch should return the time when it was stopped,
rather than continuing to count up.

Title:
  stopwatches have a number of bugs, as listed

Status in Mudlet the MUD client:
  New

Bug description:
  • If you createStopWatch, then immediately getStopWatchTime, it has an unbelieveably high time - this time should be a stable 0, not an increasing time. 
  • stopStopWatch does not actually stop the watch, it only returns the current time. This should stop the watch, so that the stopwatch can be restarted from the time it was stopped at.
  • startStopWatch always resets it to 0, instead of just starting it where it was left off before. This is a moot point until stopStopWatch is fixed
  • resetStopWatch() should reset the stopwatch to 0, not to the increasingly high number it was showing when createStopWatch was called.
