Description
Time.tick
This is the smallest time value. It is useful to be able to know what the smallest time unit is in code, and this addition was recommended in SMLFamily/BasisLibrary#35.

Because
universalis implemented using an optional, this code performs additional checks.It also encourages a bad pattern (check + unwrap) instead of pattern matching.
Now one can write:
Unsafe.ptrEq
This definition was referenced in #327, and it makes sense to add it to the
