Elapsed processing time since the last call of count_seconds.
The operator count_seconds helps to measure the runtime. The first call of the procedure normally returns a zero. Each further call returns the processing time which has elapsed in the meantime in seconds. The method by which the time is measured can be set with set_system('clock_mode',...).
The time measurement is not exact and depends on the load of the computer.

count_seconds(:::Start) > /* program segment to be measured */ count_seconds(:::End) > eval(::End - Start:RunTime).
The operator count_seconds always returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).
count_seconds is reentrant and processed without parallelization.
