<TT>--</TT> Having a single numeric equivalent for each count makes it much easier to
compare SCLK times (Is time t1 greater than time t2? Is time t1 closer to
time t2 than time t3? And so on.)

   For these reasons, encoded SCLK is the time representation that is
   associated with pointing data in the C-kernel. Encoded SCLK is the basis
   by which conversions are made from SCLK to other time systems.
