/// A generic clock resource that tracks how much it has advanced since its
/// previous update and since its creation.
///
/// Multiple instances of this resource are inserted automatically by
/// [`TimePlugin`](crate::TimePlugin):
///
/// - [`Time<Real>`](crate::real::Real) tracks real wall-clock time elapsed.
/// - [`Time<Virtual>`](crate::virt::Virtual) tracks virtual game time that may
///   be paused or scaled.
/// - [`Time<Fixed>`](crate::fixed::Fixed) tracks fixed timesteps based on
///   virtual time.
/// - [`Time`] is a generic clock that corresponds to "current" or "default"
///   time for systems. It contains [`Time<Virtual>`](crate::virt::Virtual)
///   except inside the [`FixedMain`](bevy_app::FixedMain) schedule when it
///   contains [`Time<Fixed>`](crate::fixed::Fixed).
///
/// The time elapsed since the previous time this clock was advanced is saved as
/// [`delta()`](Time::delta) and the total amount of time the clock has advanced
/// is saved as [`elapsed()`](Time::elapsed). Both are represented as exact
/// [`Duration`] values with fixed nanosecond precision. The clock does not
/// support time moving backwards, but it can be updated with [`Duration::ZERO`]
/// which will set [`delta()`](Time::delta) to zero.
///
/// These values are also available in seconds as `f32` via
/// [`delta_seconds()`](Time::delta_seconds) and
/// [`elapsed_seconds()`](Time::elapsed_seconds), and also in seconds as `f64`
/// via [`delta_seconds_f64()`](Time::delta_seconds_f64) and
/// [`elapsed_seconds_f64()`](Time::elapsed_seconds_f64).
///
/// Since [`elapsed_seconds()`](Time::elapsed_seconds) will grow constantly and
/// is `f32`, it will exhibit gradual precision loss. For applications that
/// require an `f32` value but suffer from gradual precision loss there is
/// [`elapsed_seconds_wrapped()`](Time::elapsed_seconds_wrapped) available. The
/// same wrapped value is also available as [`Duration`] and `f64` for
/// consistency. The wrap period is by default 1 hour, and can be set by
/// [`set_wrap_period()`](Time::set_wrap_period).
///
/// # Accessing clocks
///
/// By default, any systems requiring current [`delta()`](Time::delta) or
/// [`elapsed()`](Time::elapsed) should use `Res<Time>` to access the default
/// time configured for the program. By default, this refers to
/// [`Time<Virtual>`](crate::virt::Virtual) except during the
/// [`FixedMain`](bevy_app::FixedMain) schedule when it refers to
/// [`Time<Fixed>`](crate::fixed::Fixed). This ensures your system can be used
/// either in [`Update`](bevy_app::Update) or
/// [`FixedUpdate`](bevy_app::FixedUpdate) schedule depending on what is needed.
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_time::prelude::*;
/// #
/// fn ambivalent_system(time: Res<Time>) {
///     println!("this how I see time: delta {:?}, elapsed {:?}", time.delta(), time.elapsed());
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If your system needs to react based on real time (wall clock time), like for
/// user interfaces, it should use `Res<Time<Real>>`. The
/// [`delta()`](Time::delta) and [`elapsed()`](Time::elapsed) values will always
/// correspond to real time and will not be affected by pause, time scaling or
/// other tweaks.
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_time::prelude::*;
/// #
/// fn real_time_system(time: Res<Time<Real>>) {
///     println!("this will always be real time: delta {:?}, elapsed {:?}", time.delta(), time.elapsed());
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If your system specifically needs to access fixed timestep clock, even when
/// placed in `Update` schedule, you should use `Res<Time<Fixed>>`. The
/// [`delta()`](Time::delta) and [`elapsed()`](Time::elapsed) values will
/// correspond to the latest fixed timestep that has been run.
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_time::prelude::*;
/// #
/// fn fixed_time_system(time: Res<Time<Fixed>>) {
///     println!("this will always be the last executed fixed timestep: delta {:?}, elapsed {:?}", time.delta(), time.elapsed());
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Finally, if your system specifically needs to know the current virtual game
/// time, even if placed inside [`FixedUpdate`](bevy_app::FixedUpdate), for
/// example to know if the game is [`was_paused()`](Time::was_paused) or to use
/// [`effective_speed()`](Time::effective_speed), you can use
/// `Res<Time<Virtual>>`. However, if the system is placed in
/// [`FixedUpdate`](bevy_app::FixedUpdate), extra care must be used because your
/// system might be run multiple times with the same [`delta()`](Time::delta)
/// and [`elapsed()`](Time::elapsed) values as the virtual game time has not
/// changed between the iterations.
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_time::prelude::*;
/// #
/// fn fixed_time_system(time: Res<Time<Virtual>>) {
///     println!("this will be virtual time for this update: delta {:?}, elapsed {:?}", time.delta(), time.elapsed());
///     println!("also the relative speed of the game is now {}", time.effective_speed());
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If you need to change the settings for any of the clocks, for example to
/// [`pause()`](Time::pause) the game, you should use `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>`.
///
/// ```
/// # use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
/// # use bevy_time::prelude::*;
/// #
/// #[derive(Event)]
/// struct PauseEvent(bool);
///
/// fn pause_system(mut time: ResMut<Time<Virtual>>, mut events: EventReader<PauseEvent>) {
///     for ev in events.read() {
///         if ev.0 {
///             time.pause();
///         } else {
///             time.unpause();
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// # Adding custom clocks
///
/// New custom clocks can be created by creating your own struct as a context
/// and passing it to [`new_with()`](Time::new_with). These clocks can be
/// inserted as resources as normal and then accessed by systems. You can use
/// the [`advance_by()`](Time::advance_by) or [`advance_to()`](Time::advance_to)
/// methods to move the clock forwards based on your own logic.
///
/// If you want to add methods for your time instance and they require access to
/// both your context and the generic time part, it's probably simplest to add a
/// custom trait for them and implement it for `Time<Custom>`.
///
/// Your context struct will need to implement the [`Default`] trait because
/// [`Time`] structures support reflection. It also makes initialization trivial
/// by being able to call `app.init_resource::<Time<Custom>>()`.
///
/// You can also replace the "generic" `Time` clock resource if the "default"
/// time for your game should not be the default virtual time provided. You can
/// get a "generic" snapshot of your clock by calling `as_generic()` and then
/// overwrite the [`Time`] resource with it. The default systems added by
/// [`TimePlugin`](crate::TimePlugin) will overwrite the [`Time`] clock during
/// [`First`](bevy_app::First) and [`FixedUpdate`](bevy_app::FixedUpdate)
/// schedules.
