isTimeMethod(Method method) -> annotation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

  /**
   * Several instruments look for benchmark methods like {@code timeBlah(int reps)}; this is the
   * centralized code that identifies such methods.
   */
  public static boolean isTimeMethod(Method method) {
    return method.getName().startsWith("time") && Util.isPublic(method);
  }

still feels like a hack.

I suggest to use explicit annotation instead.

There has been discussion about the use of an annotation in the context of 
allowing users to add additional metadata to the benchmark method.  A change 
almost certainly won't be made just for the sake of making it, but I'm 
relatively confident that the utility will warrant it soon enough.
