The Boost TimeDuration struct has a ticks() method as well as a few methods
describing the tick resolution. So someone wanting to possibly avoid a
conversion could do:
if (7 == x.num_fractional_digits())
auto y = x.ticks();
else
auto z = x.total_nanoseconds() / 100;
This is what I'm currently working with for durations in druntime (not yet
committed).
