8/// A trait outlining the behavior of a timekeeping type.
9///
10/// This trait allows `libsw` to be agnostic about timekeeping: any type which
11/// implements `Instant` can be used within a
12/// [`Stopwatch`](crate::Stopwatch).
13///
14/// # Provided implementations
15///
16/// `libsw_core` provides `Instant` implementations for timekeeping types in the
17/// standard library.
18///
19/// | Type | Feature flag | Notes |
20/// |-------------------------|--------------|-------------|
21/// | `std::time::Instant` | `std` | |
22/// | `std::time::SystemTime` | `std` | |
23/// | `tokio::time::Instant` | `tokio` | |
24/// | `coarsetime::Instant` | `coarsetime` | |
25/// | `quanta::Instant` | `quanta` | |
26/// | `time::Instant` | `time` | Deprecated. |
27///
28/// If a timekeeping type you want to use isn't supported out of the box, please
29/// consider [filing an issue](https://github.com/ulahello/libsw-core/issues)
30/// on GitHub. If you already implemented `Instant` for it, consider sending a
31/// PR upstream.
