Rewrote tic and toc to avoid creating !TICK and more generally stay closer to the original, including existing undocumented features.
Incidentally this saves a lot of cpu time (? why? this needs to be investigated) and the reported times are now good, i.e., always similar to what would report a construction like
x=systime(/sec) & ... do something ... & print,"Time elapsed : ", systime(/sec)-x
Doing that I found a bug in resolve_routine that is now corrected by PR #1645. The new tictoc procedures would not work without this PR, and I'm surprized the bug was not reported earlier.
As usual, when writing an equivalent of existing IDL procedures, I stick to the exact same functionalities, no more 'internal help' or 'test' features, that complicate code and possibly make it slower.
