Joachim, I think that one of the goals of defining specific classes is to
reduce the set of operations of the underlying type (Rep) to those that are
safe and have a clear sens. That is, not all operations applicable to an int
are applicable to a time_point.

There is "Notes on programming" from Alexander Stepanovavailable here
http://www.stepanovpapers.com/notes.pdf. I'm sure the reading of these notes
will give you a lot of ideas ;-) (215 pages!!!)

Best,
Vicente
