That only times the function. I explicitly mentioned I want both the
needed time AND the output.

Sadly the quality of the answers on this list is going down. Here I
get an alternative that does only half what I want and when writing an
alternative for ‘!find’ I am told I could use ‘!find’ (which only
works in ipython, not python and which also not works with Windows).
