Package clock provides an abstraction for system time that enables testing of time-sensitive code.
Where you'd use time.Now, instead use clk.Now where clk is an instance of
clock.Clock.
When running your code in production, pass it a Clock given by
clock.Default() and when you're running it in your tests, pass it an instance
of Clock from NewFake().
When you do that, you can use FakeClock's Add and Set methods to control
how time behaves in your tests. That makes the tests you'll write more reliable
while also expanding the space of problems you can test.
This code intentionally does not attempt to provide an abstraction over
time.Ticker and time.Timer because Go does not have the runtime or API hooks
available to do so reliably. See https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8869
As with any use of time, be sure to test Time equality with
time.Time#Equal, not ==.
For API documentation, see the godoc.
