Clock and time utilities with focus on accuracy and testability.

The design is influenced by [`chrono`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono) library in C++ and [`time.Duration`](https://golang.org/pkg/time/) library in golang.

The one reason, if you need convincing, to use this library would be to enhance the testability of your code that relies on system-time. See [examples](examples).
