implicit_cast<> only performs a cast in cases where an implicit
conversion would be possible. It’s even safer than static_cast<> It’s an
“explicit implicit” cast, which is not normally necsesary, but is
frequently required when working with the ?: operator, functions like
std::min() and std::max(), and logging and testing macros.
The public style guide does not mention implicit_cast<> only because it
is not part of the standard library, but would otherwise require it in
these situations. Since base does provide implicit_cast<>, it should be
used whenever possible.
The only uses of static_cast<> not converted to implicit_cast<> are
those that require static_cast<>, such as those that assign an integer
constant to a variable of an enum type.

amount of time spent sleeping.
Even with the slop, this wound up being flaky, specifically on virtual
machines. And guess what our automated test infrastructure runs on?

This includes ClockMonotonicNanoseconds() and SleepNanoseconds().
SleepNanoseconds() is like base::PlatformThread::Sleep(), but
PlatformThread is not in mini_chromium and I’m not keen on adding it
because I’m not sold on the interface. I’m not convinced Sleep() belongs
there, and I don’t want to have to bring all of base::Time* along for
the ride.
