function tictic(id)
% Similar to MATLAB's tic(), but extended to save "more states"
%  
% Syntax
%   |tictic(id)| 
%
% Description
%   |tictic(id)| will start tic command determined by a specific |id|. E.g.
%   tictic(3) will not influence measurements of tictic(2). 
%
% Note:
%   Do not use too large values for |id|, as they will take up memory. Also
%   make sure that you do not mix up those tictic ids.
%   Note that toctoc() does not generate a screen output like toc() does.
%
% Example
%+   id = 7;
%+   tictic(id);
%+      % do something...
%+   timeTaken = toctoc(id);
%
