Subject: [boost] [filesystem] Epoch of trivial_clock
From: Bjorn Reese (breese_at_[hidden])

The filesystem::trivial_clock type is implementation-defined [1]. That
means that the epoch is also implementation-defined.
How do we determine the epoch of trivial_clock?
For instance, we may need to represent the last_write_time() timestamp
to the end-user, or transfer it to another node when we implement a
network file system.
PS: I am looking at the std::filesystem proposal, but I assume that
boost::filesystem will be update accordingly.
