`Clock.real` being defined to return timestamps relative to an implementation-specific epoch means that there's currently no way for the user to translate returned timestamps to actual calendar dates without digging into implementation details of any particular `Io` implementation. Redefining it to return timestamps relative to 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z fixes this problem. There are other ways to solve this, such as adding a new vtable function for returning the implementation-specific epoch, but in terms of complexity this redefinition is by far the simplest solution and only amounts to a simple 96-bit integer addition's worth of overhead on OSes like Windows that use non-POSIX/Unix epochs.
