Shouldn't the result type of time() be an "Instant" object (Instant and
Duration are defined in S02) rather than a "Rat"?
I fear that the "Instant" from S02 is a fossil. "Instant" wa
Dare I suggest TAIME? I do.

I think there's some confusion around the term "epoch" in this doc.
TAI is not an "epoch", and neither is a time value measured in fixed
units from some starting point. The starting point is the epoch. One
may speak of the UNIX epoch (January 1, 1970 at midnight GMT), but the
