To do this one must convert `utc` back to “Unix time”, and then truncate that time point to a precision of `days`, resulting in the variable `dp`. `dp` is a count of days since 1970-01-01.

To do this one must convert `utc` back to “Unix time”, and then truncate that time point to a precision of `days`, resulting in the variable `dp`. `dp` is a count of days since 1970-01-01. Since the required epoch is 1958-01-01, this is taken into account in creating `d`, the first value needed in the return type. Now the number of microseconds since the start of the day needs to be computed. The start of the day, `dp`, is converted back into the leap-second aware system, and subtracted from the microsecond time point: `utc`. The variable `us` is reused to hold “microseconds since midnight”. Now it is a simple computation to split this into milliseconds since midnight, and microseconds since the last millisecond.
