I probably would have just done fromMS() and fromUS() personally. In all the 
code that I've generally seen, ms is milliseconds, us is microseconds, and ns is 
nanoseconds. I've never even heard of a megasecond (though I can easily believe 
that such exists since mega is often used as a unit). But if we're looking for 
something with clearer names, then I'd argue for fromMilliSec() and from 
fromMicroSec(). Long function names aren't necessarily a big deal IMHO, but if 
we can reasonably make them shorter, then we generally should.
