As discussed on the forum, we'll likely want to use
Duration
as the primary associated type onprotocol Clock
; however, that protocol currently only hasInstant
.To support declaring it as the primary associated type,
protocol Clock
needs to haveDuration
as an associated type requirement:This setup is reminiscent of
