So would "pow(10, frac_seconds_resolution )-1" be the maximum expected value
of fractional_seconds_count (excepting perhaps leap-microseconds or
something)?  I think this could bear a little further explanation than just
"increments of 10 only".  Given that it is a short I assume its not the
denominator itself, but the log10 of it.
