Doing the math results in 0x028a4486a830c000 (5.8 years of nanoseconds).  That 
seems an unlikely max value -- which prompts this question.

[julia-users] What is the value of time_ns() before it wraps?

The help says "Get the time in nanoseconds. The time corresponding to 0 is 
undefined, and wraps every 5.8 years." I want to know the largest UInt64 value 
that time_ns() can return: the (nonzero) value which would be followed by 
0x01%UInt64.
