Description
Timestamp in the SDK is relative since start of DataSource. Using the Engine there doesn't seem to be an easy way to just get an absolute DateTime given a Timestamp.
It should be as easy as Timestamp.ToDateTime() or similar.

Research direction
Start by locating the SDK's Timestamp and Engine entry points and reading how timestamps are anchored to DataSource startup. Done means providing an easy conversion from a relative Timestamp to its absolute DateTime, such as a Timestamp.ToDateTime() helper, with coverage for the expected conversion.
