This interface primarily exists for testing purposes, allowing test code to
isolate itself from the system clock. In production, theSystemClockimplementation is by far the most likely one to be used, and the only one provided
within this library. Code that uses a clock should generally be designed to allow it
to be optionally specified, defaulting toInstance.
