Can I create a ExperimentalTime TimeMark from an OffsetDateTime using something like this or is it completely wrong usage/thinking around TimeSources?

```@OptIn(ExperimentalTime::class)
class DateTimeSource(val time: OffsetDateTime) : AbstractLongTimeSource(unit = DurationUnit.MILLISECONDS), TimeSource {
    override fun read(): Long {
        return time.toInstant().toEpochMilli()
    }
}```


You can, but that time source will be pretty useless, as it never advances its time reading.

You can try to implement a `TimeSource` like this: <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0922A726/p1588869705496300?thread_ts=1588865356.494000&amp;cid=C0922A726>

And use its `markAt(OffsetDateTime)` method to get a `TimeMark` corresponding to that date/time value value.

thanks, I had a hunch my implementation was wrong since its not a timesource but rather a fixed value
