# Objective
There is no easy way to discard some amount for `Time<Fixed>`'s
overstep. This can be useful for online games when the client receives
information about a tick (which happens when you get a FPS drop or the
ping changes for example) it has not yet processed, it can discard
overstep equal to the number of ticks it can jump ahead.
Currently the workaround would be to create a new `Time<Fixed>` copy the
old timestep, advance it by the overstep amount that would remain after
subtracting the discarded amount, and using `.context_mut()` to
overwrite the old context with the new one. If you overwrite the whole
`Time<Fixed>` or forget to copy over the timestep you can introduce
undesirable side effects.
## Solution
Introduce a `discard_overstep` method, which discards the provided
amount of overstep. It uses satuarting_sub to avoid errors (negative
`Duration`s do not exist).

## Changelog
- Added `discard_overstep` function to `Time<Fixed>`
