Might you consider a somewhat simpler API?

function start_stopwatch (name:string) { }
function stop_stopwatch (name:string) { }
function read_stopwatch_ns:long (name:string) { }
function read_stopwatch_us:long (name:string) { }
function read_stopwatch_ms:long (name:string) { }
function read_stopwatch_s:long (name:string) { }

i.e., no explicit create (the tapset can create it on first encounter
of a new name), no enums (encode start/stop as distinct functions),
and explicit reader functions.
