/** @file real-clock.hpp
** Front-end for simplified access to the current wall clock time.
** The implementation relies on Lumiera vault functions to access the
** system clock with a sufficient level of precision. The result is
** delivered in lumiera's internal \link lib::time::Time time format \endlink
**
** @todo WIP-WIP-WIP 3/2012
** @todo this might be a good candidate also to provide some kind of
** translation service, i.e. a grid to anchor a logical time value
** with actual running wall clock time.
** @todo not clear if this becomes some kind of central service (singleton)
** or just a bunch of library routines
**
** @see lib/time/timevalue.hpp
