Name: Timeline (DataStructures.Timeline<TValue>)
Type: Data structure (class)
Description: A collection of dates/times and values sorted by dates/times easy to query.
Usage:
this data structure can be used to represent an ordered series of dates or times with which to associate values.
An example is a chronology of events:
306: Constantine is the new emperor,
312: Battle of the Milvian Bridge,
313: Edict of Milan,
330: Constantine move the capital to Constantinople.
