62 Notice: this class was once called AbsoluteTime. Einstein told us in 1905, that talking |
|
63 about a absolute time is not a good idea (at least in our universe). So the class |
|
64 has been renamed to Timestamp which makes us more compatible to other ST dialects (e.g. VW) |
|
65 AbsoluteTime is still kept as an alias for backward compatibility. |
