# Time

### Time objects

`class Instant`:
Denotes a specific instant in time.

`func new(sec, nsec):` Creates a new time instant `sec` seconds + `nsec` nanoseconds since the local epoch.

`func current():` Returns the current system time as an `Instant`. This function returns conventional wall clock time.

`func current_mono():` Returns the current system time as an `Instant`. This function guarantees to always return a monotonically increasing value; it is useful for timing purposes, as it is not skewed to reflect the realities of the outside world. Note: not all platforms support this functionality (e.g. OS X), in which case the value returned will be the same as `current`.
