 * \brief System clock
 *
 * System clock represents the system-wide real time wall clock.
 *
 * It may not be monotonic: on most systems, the system time can be
 * adjusted at any moment. It is the only clock that has the ability
 * to be displayed and converted to/from UNIX timestamp.
 *
 * To get current TimePoint:
 *
 * <code>
 *     system_clock::TimePoint now = system_clock::now();
 * </code>
 *
 * To convert TimePoint to/from UNIX timestamp:
 *
 * <code>
 *     system_clock::TimePoint time = ...;
 *     uint64_t timestampInMilliseconds = toUnixTimestamp(time).count();
 *     system_clock::TimePoint time2 = fromUnixTimestamp(time::milliseconds(timestampInMilliseconds));
 * </code>

 * \brief Steady clock
 *
 * Steady clock represents a monotonic clock. The time points of this
 * clock cannot decrease as physical time moves forward. This clock is
 * not related to wall clock time, and is best suitable for measuring
 * intervals.
 *
 * Note that on OS X platform this defaults to system clock and is not
 * truly monotonic. Refer to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/7719)
