Detailed Description

A clock whose reference time is the system time.

In effect, the time kept by this clock is just the system wall-clock time. However, it also responds correctly to changes in time (via time(double)) as well as changes in the rate of the clock. Setting rate() != 1 will result in a "wall clock" entity whose reported time proceeds at twice the rate of the system time. This is "simulation wall clock" time -- not true wall-clock time as reported by a low level timer. As such, the reported time advances in discrete steps and is constant for the duration of a frame.
