Hi,

I don't know if you are aware of Boost.Chrono 
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_51_0/doc/html/chrono.html). I suspect 
that it share the same concerns. Please could you tell what your library 
provides in addition to Boost.Chrono?

Best,
Vicente

P.S. Note that the next Boost release 1.52 contains an refactored 
version of chrono/io.
