The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the
difference between the results of consecutive calls is valid.
On Windows versions older than Vista, :func:`monotonic` detects
:c:func:`GetTickCount` integer overflow (32 bits, roll-over after 49.7 days).
It increases an internal epoch (reference time) by 2\ :sup:`32` each time
that an overflow is detected. The epoch is stored in the process-local state
and so the value of :func:`monotonic` may be different in two Python
processes running for more than 49 days. On more recent versions of Windows
and on other operating systems, :func:`monotonic` is system-wide.
