IIRC, Guido's words were that too much to the smarts in timeit.py were 
in the command-line interface and not in the Timer object were in should

So, this should be a simple refactoring exercise to expose more of the

While you're at it, please document the import trick or testing existing 
code without copying it in to a text string.
