Description

Much of the wording in [time] names members of std::chrono by unqualified name, in violation of [contents]p3. But there is also some explicit chrono:: qualification (eg: [tab:time.clock], [time.clock.utc.overview], [time.clock.conv], ...) even when describing entities in the std::chrono namespace.

We should decide if we want an equivalent of [fs.req.namespace], and either add it (and remove the then-redundant chrono:: qualifications throughout), or add all the missing chrono:: qualifications.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the [time] wording, especially [tab:time.clock], [time.clock.utc.overview], and [time.clock.conv], alongside [contents]p3 and [fs.req.namespace]. The work is done when a consistent namespace-qualification policy is decided and the affected chrono wording is updated accordingly.
