I'm curious how these sets of units were chosen or decided upon? I understand that the line must be drawn somewhere (or else someone may come along asking for centisecond support), but I'm curious as to the rational.
Nanos have to be supported as they are the smallest available. Millis are supported as they are the historic form.
Micros is only one of the other possible ones - .NET ticks might be another. A line has to be drawn somewhere...
