* This class models a single instantaneous point on the time-line.
* This might be used to record event time-stamps in the application.
* <p>
- * For practicality, the instant is stored with some constraints.
- * The measurable time-line is restricted to the number of seconds that can be held
- * in a {@code long}. This is greater than the current estimated age of the universe.
- * The instant is stored to nanosecond resolution.
- * <p>
* The range of an instant requires the storage of a number larger than a {@code long}.
* To achieve this, the class stores a {@code long} representing epoch-seconds and an
* {@code int} representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999.
