Defines a non-adjusted time system with nano-second/micro-second resolution and stable calculation properties. The nano-second resolution option uses 96 bits of underlying storage for each ptime while the micro-second resolution uses 64 bits per ptime (see <link linkend="date_time.buildinfo">Build Options</link> for details). This time system uses the Gregorian calendar to implement the date portion of the time representation.
