+cc some folks for comment on the API

Monotonically non-decreasing isn't the most interesting property - uniformly increasing is.  I think this is a step in the right direction and assume that we'll want to implement this with the appropriate system APIs (mach_absolute_time(), QueryPerformanceCounter(), etc).  I'm not sure "tick count" is the correct thing to call this - in chromium we call this TimeTicks, although in practice I always want to use this sort of API to measure intervals or durations.
