You are absolutely right, this loop will just wrap self.0 to the same value
after the initial pass.

... or at least it would if there weren't two bugs in it. >_<

- It adds the lower part of nanos while substracting u64::MAX from rhs,
  which is completely wrong;
- Substracting u64::MAX is also wrong, it should be u64::MAX as u128 +
  1.

So thanks a lot for pointing this out!
