// validateTimestamp determines whether a Timestamp is valid.
// A valid timestamp represents a time in the range
// [0001-01-01, 10000-01-01) and has a Nanos field
// in the range [0, 1e9).
//
// If the Timestamp is valid, validateTimestamp returns nil.
// Otherwise, it returns an error that describes
// the problem.
//
// Every valid Timestamp can be represented by a time.Time, but the converse is not true.
func validateTimestamp(ts *timestamp) error { … }

// TimestampFromProto converts a google.protobuf.Timestamp proto to a time.Time.
// It returns an error if the argument is invalid.
//
// Unlike most Go functions, if Timestamp returns an error, the first return value
// is not the zero time.Time. Instead, it is the value obtained from the
// time.Unix function when passed the contents of the Timestamp, in the UTC
// locale. This may or may not be a meaningful time; many invalid Timestamps
// do map to valid time.Times.
//
// A nil Timestamp returns an error. The first return value in that case is
// undefined.

// TimestampProto converts the time.Time to a google.protobuf.Timestamp proto.
