If called from within either an interpreted or compiled program, the CPU
function returns the number of CPU seconds elapsed since the beginning of
program execution.

If typed directly in response to the interpreter prompt, the CPU function
returns the total number of CPU seconds required for the execution of the
last previous program to execute in the interpreter.

The result of this function is a REAL number.
