Description

The documentation states that the TimeSpan FromDays(double) function is accurate to a ms. This may well be so, but since .NET Core 3.1 the precision is no longer to 1 ms. I found this when comparing behavior in .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 8 code and found the documentation confusing on this point. The former gave a precision to 1ms the later gave much higher precision. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60987108/why-are-the-timespan-values-different-between-netcoreapp2-1-and-netcoreapp3-1/61200495#61200495 and dotnet/runtime#13230
