typealias TimeInterval = Double
Discussion
A Time value is always specified in seconds; it yields sub-millisecond precision over a range of 10,000 years.
On its own, a time interval does not specify a unique point in time, or even a span between specific times. Combining a time interval with one or more known reference points yields a Date or Date value.
