template <class Rep> struct treat_as_floating_point
: is_floating_point<Rep> { };
The duration template uses the treat_as_floating_point trait to help determine if a duration object can be converted to another duration with a different tick period. If treat_as_floating_point<Rep>::value is true, then implicit conversions are allowed among durations. Otherwise, the implicit convertibility depends on the tick periods of the durations. [ Note: The intention of this trait is to indicate whether a given class behaves like a floating-point type, and thus allows division of one value by another with acceptable loss of precision. If treat_as_floating_point<Rep>::value is false, Rep will be treated as if it behaved like an integral type for the purpose of these conversions. — end note ]
