Apologies, that statement is likely to be misleading, what I meant was
the Ada.Real_Time.Time type is similar to the Calendar.Time type in that
it can be used in instructions like 'delay until <time>;', whereas 1.5
seconds sounds more like a duration as you would use in 'delay 1.5';
(without the until clause).
