+ * Using a mix of milliseconds and timeval for internal timers is expensive and
+ * overkill, because we don't need such a precision to compute timeouts.
+ * So we're converting them to "ticks".
+ *
+ * A tick is a representation of a date relative to another one, and is
+ * measured in milliseconds. The natural usage is to represent an absolute date
+ * relative to the current date. Since it is not practical to update all values
+ * each time the current date changes, instead we use the absolute date rounded
+ * down to fit in a tick. We then have to compare a tick to the current date to
+ * know whether it is in the future or in the past. If a tick is below the
+ * current date, it is in the past. If it is above, it is in the future. The
+ * values will wrap so we can't compare that easily, instead we check the sign
+ * of the difference between a tick and the current date.
+ *
+ * Proceeding like this allows us to manipulate dates that are stored in
+ * scalars with enough precision and range. For this reason, we store ticks in
+ * 32-bit integers. This is enough to handle dates that are between 24.85 days
+ * in the past and as much in the future.
+ *
+ * We must both support absolute dates (well in fact, dates relative to now+/-
+ * 24 days), and intervals (for timeouts). Both types need an "eternity" magic
+ * value. For optimal code generation, we'll use zero as the magic value
+ * indicating that an expiration timer or a timeout is not set. We have to
+ * check that we don't return this value when adding timeouts to <now>. If a
+ * computation returns 0, we must increase it to 1 (which will push the timeout
+ * 1 ms further). For this reason, timeouts must not be added by hand but via
+ * the dedicated tick_add() function.
