MSVC: variadic macros (__VA_ARGS__) require VC++ 2005 or newer.

Simple use case (measure one code section):

  uint64_t start = getnanotime();
  /* code section to measure */
  trace_performance_since(start, "foobar");

Medium use case (measure consecutive code sections):

  uint64_t start = getnanotime();
  /* first code section to measure */
  start = trace_performance_since(start, "first foobar");
  /* second code section to measure */
  trace_performance_since(start, "second foobar");

Complex use case (measure repetitive code sections):

  uint64_t t = 0;
  for (;;) {
    /* ignore */
    t -= getnanotime();
    /* code section to measure */
    t += getnanotime();
    /* ignore */
  }
  trace_performance(t, "frotz");
