	* -   For objects, the implementation only copies enumerable keys and their associated property descriptors.
	* -   The implementation only checks whether basic `Objects`, `Arrays`, and class instances are extensible, sealed, and/or frozen.
	* -   Functions are not cloned; their reference is copied.
	* -   The implementation supports custom error types which are `Error` instances (e.g., ES2015 subclasses).
	* -   Support for copying class instances is inherently fragile. Any instances with privileged access to variables (e.g., within closures) cannot be cloned. This stated, basic copying of class instances is supported. Provided an environment which supports ES5, the implementation is greedy and performs a deep clone of any arbitrary class instance and its properties. The implementation assumes that the concept of `level` applies only to the class instance reference, but not to its internal state.

	/**
	* Times a snippet.
	*
	* ## Notes
	*
	* -   If the `asynchronous` option is set to `true`, the implementation assumes that `before`, `after`, and `code` snippets are all asynchronous. Accordingly, these snippets should invoke a `next( [error] )` callback once complete. The implementation wraps the snippet within a function accepting two arguments: `state` and `next`.
	* -   The `state` parameter is simply an empty object which allows the `before`, `after`, and `code` snippets to share state.
	* -   Snippets always run in strict mode.
	* -   Always verify results. Doing so prevents the compiler from performing dead code elimination and other optimization techniques, which would render timing results meaningless.
	* -   Executed code is not sandboxed and has access to the global state. You are strongly advised against timing untrusted code. To time untrusted code, do so in an isolated environment (e.g., a separate process with restricted access to both global state and the host environment).
	* -   Wrapping asynchronous code does add overhead, but, in most cases, the overhead should be negligible compared to the execution cost of the timed snippet.
	* -   When the `asynchronous` option is `true`, ensure that the main `code` snippet is actually asynchronous. If a snippet releases the zalgo, an error complaining about exceeding the maximum call stack size is highly likely.
	* -   While many benchmark frameworks calculate various statistics over raw timing results (e.g., mean and standard deviation), do not do this. Instead, consider the fastest time an approximate lower bound for how fast an environment can execute a snippet. Slower times are more likely attributable to other processes interfering with timing accuracy rather than attributable to variability in JavaScript's speed. In which case, the minimum time is most likely the only result of interest. When considering all raw timing results, apply common sense rather than statistics.
