+<p>The <b>int64x64_t</b> type implements all the C++ arithmetic operators to behave like one of the
+C++ native types. It is a 64.64 integer type which means that it is a 128bit integer type with
+64 bits of fractional precision. The existing <b>Time</b> type is now automatically convertible to
+<b>int64x64_t</b> to allow arbitrarily complex arithmetic operations on the content of <b>Time</b>
+objects. The implementation of <b>int64x64_t</b> is based on the previously-existing
+<b>HighPrecision</b> type and supercedes it.

+<li><b>Scalar</b>
+<p>The Scalar type has been removed. Typical code such as:
+<pre>
+Time tmp = ...;
+Time result = tmp * Scalar (5);
