// Time represents an absolute point in time, internally represented as
// microseconds (s/1,000,000) since the Windows epoch (1601-01-01 00:00:00 UTC)
// (See http://crbug.com/14734).  System-dependent clock interface routines are
// defined in time_PLATFORM.cc.
//
// TimeDelta represents a duration of time, internally represented in
// microseconds.
//
// TimeTicks represents an abstract time that is most of the time incrementing
// for use in measuring time durations. It is internally represented in
// microseconds.  It can not be converted to a human-readable time, but is
// guaranteed not to decrease (if the user changes the computer clock,
// Time::Now() may actually decrease or jump).  But note that TimeTicks may
// "stand still", for example if the computer suspended.
//
// These classes are represented as only a 64-bit value, so they can be
// efficiently passed by value.
