The library is already designed in this fashion (except that the epoch is 1400-01-01 00:00:00). From the docs "A Clock Device is software component (tied to some hardware) that provides the current date or time with respect to a time system. A clock can measure the current time to a known resolution which may be higher or lower than a particular time representation."
I cannot be certain because it seems that a significant portion (the more generic portion) of the library is not documented, except for the doxygen-generated files, but my impression is that ptime represents a time in a specific time zone. Also, while the more generic portions of the library seem to support various user-specified precisions, ptime (the only time-point representation documented) is limited to a specific implementation-defined precision.
