I don't believe so. A TickDuration can be cast (or use std.conv.to) to convert 
to a Duration, but there is no cast in the opposite direction. One could be 
added (and perhaps it should be), but I do find it a bit odd to convert from 
Duration to TickDuration. Usually, you'd get a TickDuration from timing stuff 
(like benchmarking or some other type of stopwatch functionality), and I would 
expect creating TickDurations in other ways to be fairly rare. What are you 
doing that you want to create a TickDuration from a Duration?
