Seeing that TickDuration is being deprecated and that I should
use Duration instead, I faced a problem. I need to get total
seconds like a float. Using .total!"seconds" returns a long and
if the duration is less than 1 second I get 0. My question is
whats the right way to do it. Because I saw that TickDuration
has a to!("seconds", float) method, but Duration doesn't have
one. I can convert Duration to TickDuration and call to but
seeing that its deprecated makes me think there is a better way.
Why not just use a smaller granularity for Duration.total and
convert the result?
duration.total!"nsecs" / cast(float) 1e9
