DispatchTimeInterval.nanoseconds expects an Int, while uptimeNanoseconds is an 
UInt64 (an thus so is their difference). You can “fix” this by adding an 
explicit cast:

func -(time1: DispatchTime, time2: DispatchTime) -> DispatchTimeInterval {
        return DispatchTimeInterval.nanoseconds(Int(time2.uptimeNanoseconds - 
time1.uptimeNanoseconds))
}

However, you will need to perform checking for when time2 < time1 and then the 
difference doesn’t fit in an Int–these will cause crashes.
