You are assuming that type Duration is solely for use by the
delay statement or for use in conjunction with values read
from the clock (these may of course have totally unrelated
low order accuracy), but this is just not true.
It would clearly be MUCH less useful if Duration was target
dependent and had only a precision corresponding to the delay
accuracy. No one could really sensibly prefer this!
