class Foundation_API Clock
	/// A Clock stores a monotonic* clock value
	/// with (theoretical) microseconds resolution.
	/// Clocks can be compared with each other
	/// and simple arithmetics are supported.
	///
	/// [*] Note that Clock values are only monotonic if
	/// the operating system provides a monotonic clock.
	/// The monotonic() function can be used to check whether
	/// the system's clock is monotonic.
	///
	/// Monotonic Clock is available on Windows, Linux, OS X 
	/// and on POSIX platforms supporting clock_gettime() with CLOCK_MONOTONIC.	  
	///
	/// Clock values are relative to a system-dependent epoch time
	/// (usually the system's startup time) and have no relation
	/// to the time of day.
