Time Documentation:
- The FLL project and relating programs might utilize the unit of measurement called a "Time", represented with uppercase "T".
- For comparison, a unit of Time is equivalent to a nanosecond, or 10^-9 seconds.
- A MegaTime (MT) is therefore equivalent to a millisecond such that a millisecond is 10^-3 seconds.

- A unit of Time is intended to represent some unit of Time such that a single 64-bit integer may hold all units of Time for a single calendar year.
- This unit of Time does not and must not include Years (unlike Unixtime).
- To convert from Time to Unixtime, one must have a year (which could be assumed to be the current year) and then calculate all of those calendar oddities.

+
+Time Specification:
+ There are two units of bold:"Time", the first is simply called bold:"Time" and the second is called bold:"EpochTime".
+
+ Both bold:"Time" and bold:"EpochTime" are measured without the year but may contain a year to designate the point in the counting begins.
+ These are both represented by a single 64-bit (unsigned) integer.
+ The default timezone is always UTC:"Coordinated Universal Time".
+
+ The common form is intended as the non-technical form that is form common use.
+ This may have a negative value or be more than 64-bit digits long.
+ This is simply not expected to be interpreted as a unit of time on a computer (but nothing stops it from being interpreted).
+
+ The technical forms are limit to 64-bit unsigned for technical use but should technology advance to a point where larger bits are needed then this allows for that.
+ The systems should expect 64-bit and larger bits would have to become common before something larger than 64-bit is the expected or assumed default.
+ Negative signs can be allowed but they must not prevent the full use of the 64-bit.
+ The implementation of how this is done is left to the implementer except that the signs are immediately to the left of the digit.
+ For example code:"2022:-5" would be 5 units after the start of the year 2022.
+ Because the negative is allowed, so must the positive character (such as code:"2022:+5").
+ A positive value is the default interpretation when no sign is valid.
+
+ The unit of time called bold:"Time" is counted increments of a nanosecond, or 10^-9 seconds.
+ A unit of bold:"Time" is, therefore, equivalent to a nanosecond.
+ The default year for bold:"Time" is the current year.
+
+ The unit of time called bold:"EpochTime" is counted increments of a second, or 10^-9 seconds.
+ A unit of bold:"EpochTime" is, therefore, equivalent to a second.
+ The default year for bold:"EpochTime" is the bold:"UNIX Epoch", sometimes called bold:"Unix time".
+
+ The unit bold:"Time" has two technical forms and one common form, with the year and without the year.
