We are interested in measuring performance and quality in Bergamot project, so these are important to have for us. Otherwise, we have to use String or Event types which will be harder to analyze.

I created bug 1709312 for the quantity type and the timespan was merged. Closing this!

Hi! Thank you for adding timespan support! Unfortunately we can't use it because it provides only start/stop methods and in our use case we need to submit already calculated timing. Please provide an API to submit a value in milliseconds. Thank you!
