`import "io/time";`

## Monotonic class

Gives access to monotonic time.

### Functions

`static function get_time(): Integer`
  Returns the monotonic time in milliseconds since an arbitrary start.
  Note: You must use wraparound arithmetic (eg. using the `sub32` intrinsic function to get the difference between timestamps).
`static function get_micro_time(): Integer`
  Returns the monotonic time in microseconds since an arbitrary start.
  Note: You must use wraparound arithmetic (eg. using the `sub32` intrinsic function to get the difference between timestamps).
