7/// A measurement of a monotonically nondecreasing clock.
8/// Opaque and useful only with `Duration`.
9///
10/// Instants are always guaranteed to be no less than any previously measured
11/// instant when created, and are often useful for tasks such as measuring
12/// benchmarks or timing how long an operation takes.
13///
14/// Note, however, that instants are not guaranteed to be **steady**. In other
15/// words, each tick of the underlying clock may not be the same length (e.g.
16/// some seconds may be longer than others). An instant may jump forwards or
17/// experience time dilation (slow down or speed up), but it will never go
18/// backwards.
19///
20/// Instants are opaque types that can only be compared to one another. There is
21/// no method to get "the number of seconds" from an instant. Instead, it only
22/// allows measuring the duration between two instants (or comparing two
23/// instants).
24///
25/// The size of an `Instant` struct may vary depending on the target operating
26/// system.
27///
28/// # Note
29///
30/// This type wraps the inner `std` variant and is used to align the Tokio
31/// clock for uses of `now()`. This can be useful for testing where you can
32/// take advantage of `time::pause()` and `time::advance()`.
