/// A clock implementation that provides monotonically increasing time.
///
/// This clock uses `std::time::Instant` as its time source, which guarantees
/// that time always moves forward and is not affected by system time
/// adjustments (e.g., NTP synchronization, manual changes).
///
/// The clock records a base point when created, and all subsequent time
/// queries are calculated relative to this base point.
///
/// # Use Cases
///
/// - Performance monitoring
/// - Timeout control
/// - Measuring time intervals
/// - Any scenario requiring stable, monotonic time
///
/// # Note
///
/// This clock is designed for measuring time intervals, not for getting the
/// "current time" for display purposes. For timezone support, you can wrap it
/// with [`Zoned`](crate::Zoned), but this is generally not recommended as
/// timezone information is not meaningful for interval measurements.
///
/// # Thread Safety
///
/// This type is completely thread-safe as all fields are immutable after
/// creation.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use qubit_clock::{Clock, MonotonicClock};
/// use std::thread;
/// use std::time::Duration;
///
/// let clock = MonotonicClock::new();
/// let start = clock.millis();
///
/// thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(100));
///
/// let elapsed = clock.millis() - start;
/// assert!(elapsed >= 100);
/// ```
