Oh, sorry, I did mean time_duration. I will give an example. Imagine, that you have time_duration that spans over multiple years. Internal ticks_ value is quite large number.
Now lets's say it is 1000000 ... I'd like to multily it by 0.55. It will be nice integer after the operation. But there is no other reasonable way to do if otherwise.
Just in case you wondering what can be use case for such an operation, imagine a graph where x-axis represents a timeline between two timestamps. If you want to draw a grid, you will need to multiply the time difference by 0.1 0.2 0.3 and etc.
Actually, I think there is an easier way. I'd calculate the difference between the 2 timestamps (divided by the number of divisions) to get the the 'step' of the grid. Then I'd create time_iterator with the calculated step to generate the values of the grid. If you haven't used the time_iterator you might have a look at: http://www.boost.org/doc/html/date_time/posix_time.html#date_time.posix_time. time_iterators Jeff
