Increments or decrements the number of ticks for this duration.

If `rep_` is a member variable holding the number of ticks in a duration object,

1) Equivalent to ++rep_; return *this;
2) Equivalent to return duration(rep_++)
3) Equivalent to --rep_; return *this;
4) Equivalent to return duration(rep_--);

### [edit] Parameters

(none)

### [edit] Return value

1,3) a reference to this duration after modification
2,4) a copy of the duration made before modification

### [edit] Example

Run this code

    #include <chrono>
    #include <iostream>

    int main()
    {
        std::chrono::hours h(1);
        std::chrono::minutes m = ++h;
        m--;
        std::cout << m.count() << " minutes\n";
    }

Output:

    119 minutes
