  # this code adds a Time.freeze method to make time "stand still"

  # Example:
  #
  #   Time.freeze do
  #      puts Time.new.to_f
  #      # ... do stuff; real time passes
  #      puts Time.new.to_f     # outputs same time as above
  #   end
  #   # ... time returns to normal
  #
  # An optional Time object may be passed to freeze to a specific time:
  #
  #   Time.freeze(Time.at(2007, 11, 15)) do
  #      # ...
  #   end
  #
  # While inside the block, Time.frozen? will return true
