Performs basic arithmetic operations between two durations or between a duration and a tick count.

1) Converts the two durations to their common type and creates a duration whose tick count is the sum of the tick counts after conversion.
2) Converts the two durations to their common type and creates a duration whose tick count is the `rhs` number of ticks subtracted from the `lhs` number of ticks after conversion.
3-4) Converts the duration `d` to one whose `rep` is the common type between `Rep1` and `Rep2`, and multiples the number of ticks after conversion by `s`.
5) Converts the duration `d` to one whose `rep` is the common type between `Rep1` and `Rep2`, and divides the number of ticks after conversion by `s`
6) Converts the two durations to their common type and divides the tick count of `lhs` after conversion by the tick count of `rhs` after conversion. Note that the return value of this operator is not a duration.
7) Converts the duration `d` to one whose `rep` is the common type between `Rep1` and `Rep2`, and creates a duration whose tick count is the remainder of the division of the tick count, after conversion, by `s`.
8) Converts the two durations to their common type and creates a duration whose tick count is the remainder of the tick counts after conversion.

### [edit] Parameters

lhs | - | duration on the left-hand side of the operator
rhs | - | duration on the right-hand side of the operator
d | - | the duration argument for mixed-argument operators
s | - | tick count argument for mixed-argument operators

### [edit] Return value

Assuming that CD is the function return type and CR<A, B> = std::common_type<A, B>::type, then:

1) CD(CD(lhs).count() + CD(rhs).count())
2) CD(CD(lhs).count() - CD(rhs).count())
3-4) CD(CD(d).count() * s)
5) CD(CD(d).count() / s).
6) CD(lhs).count() / CD(rhs).count() (the return type of this operator is not a duration)
7) CD(CD(d).count() % s)
8) CD(CD(lhs).count() % CD(rhs).count())

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <chrono>
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        // simple arithmetic
        std::chrono::seconds s = std::chrono::hours(1)
                                 + 2*std::chrono::minutes(10)
                                 + std::chrono::seconds(70)/10;

        std::cout << "1 hour + 2*10 min + 70/10 sec = " << s.count() << " seconds\n";

        // difference between dividing a duration by a number
        // and dividing a duration by another duration
        std::cout << "Dividing that by 2 minutes gives "
                  << s / std::chrono::minutes(2) << '\n';
        std::cout << "Dividing that by 2 gives "
                  << (s / 2).count() << " seconds\n";

       // the remainder operator is useful in determining where in a time
       // frame is this particular duration, e.g. to break it down into hours,
       // minutes, and seconds:
       std::cout << s.count() << " seconds is "
                 << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::hours>(
                        s
                    ).count() << " hours, "
                 << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::minutes>(
                        s % std::chrono::hours(1)
                    ).count() << " minutes, "
                 << std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::seconds>(
                        s % std::chrono::minutes(1)
                    ).count() << " seconds\n";
    }

Output:

    1 hour + 2*10 min + 70/10 sec = 4807 seconds
    Dividing that by 2 minutes gives 40
    Dividing that by 2 gives 2403 seconds
    4807 seconds is 1 hours, 20 minutes, 7 seconds
