"it" is a little ambiguous here unless you read the next message's
mention of "the original"...

This is backwards: duration<Inty, P1> is convertible to duration<Inty,
P2> iff P1 is an integral multiple of P2, i.e., if the original's
period is an integral multiple of "its" period.

The static assert only passed because duration<float> was used as the
destination type (presumably because of a copy/paste error).
