"Fancy novelty chronograph".

Note:
I couldn't help but try to do 1/100 seconds. They're for novelty and appear incorrect (Toggle it quickly to see what I mean?) Either using litestep to do this doesn't produce the required precision/accuracy and/or my logic is off :D Those parts of the script are commented.

Tested under:
xlabellight-2.8.3
