I'm reading the library reference for
[core.time](https://dlang.org/phobos/core_time.html#Duration)
and It says that the duration is taken in "hnsecs" and I
cannot understand if we can change that and choose the
precision. Does anyone know if we can do that?
It is stored internally in "hnsecs", but you can convert it to
other units using the `total` method [1]; for example,
`myDuration.total!"nsecs"`.

It doesn't work for me. I have the following code:
```
MonoTime start = MonoTime.currTime();
// Doing stuff
MonoTime end = MonoTime.currTime();
Duration dur = end - start;
dur = dur.total!"nsecs";
```
and I get the following error message:
"Error: cannot implicitly convert expression \`dur.total()\` of
type \`long\` to \`Duration`"
