 * elapsed time according to the system.  This time can never go
 * backwards (i.e. it never wraps around, at least not in less than
 * five million years of system elapsed time). It might not advance
 * while the system is sleeping. If TimeStamp::SetNow() is not called

 * We deliberately do not expose a way to convert TimeStamps to some

 * to a TimeStamp to get a new TimeStamp. You can't do something
 * meaningless like add two TimeStamps.

 * Internally this is implemented as either a wrapper around

 *     platform
 *   - PRIntervalTime otherwise.  We detect wraparounds of
