 * \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(milliseconds(timestampInMilliseconds));
