+// number of milliseconds from one time source (e.g. a native event time) to
+// corresponding mozilla::TimeStamp objects.

+// This class handles wrapping of integer values and skew between the time
+// source and mozilla::TimeStamp values.
+//
+// It does this by using an historical reference time recorded in both time
+// scales (i.e. both as a numerical time value and as a TimeStamp).
+//
+// For performance reasons, this class is careful to minimize calls to the
+// native "current time" function (e.g. gdk_x11_server_get_time) since this can
+// be slow.
