 * \brief A class of an attribute that makes an attribute value of the current date and time
 *
 * The attribute generates current time stamp as a value. The type of the attribute value
 * is determined with time traits passed to the class template as a template parameter.
 * The time traits provided by the library use \c boost::posix_time::ptime as the time type.
 *
 * Time traits also determine the way time is acquired. There are two types of time traits
 * provided by the library: \c utc_time_traits and \c local_time_traits. The first returns UTC time,
 * the second returns local time.
