Comment (by fnjordy@…):

 Of reference the Boost documentation defines `is_steady()` with the C++11
 definition of `is_monotonic()`, MSDN provides the following:

   A clock is ''monotonic'' if the value that is returned by a first call
 to `now()` is always less than or equal to the value that is returned by a
 subsequent call to `now()`.

   A clock is ''steady'' if it is monotonic and if the time between clock
 ticks is constant.
