    Description

      Clarify that uncertainty calculation, just like date/time comparison calculations, considered Seconds and Milliseconds as a single combined precision with Decimal semantics.
       
      In addition, clarify that uncertainty is always represented with the lowest boundary first, just like intervals.
       
      So, this:
      hours between @2017-03-11T01:00:00 and @2017-03-11T02:00:00
      Results in 1
      As does this:
      hours between @2017-03-11T01:00:00 and @2017-03-11T02:00:00.0
      But this (specified to minutes on the left and seconds on the right):
      hours between @2017-03-11T01:00 and @2017-03-11T02:00:00
      Does result in an Uncertainty(0, 1)
