convert_tree2brts

Convert a tree into branching times.
Differently from the branching.times function in ape,
it will keep the multiple events. Since the units are million
years, a precision of 8 means that the approximation goes up to the 8-th
digits. With such approximation we consider events happening within an
interval of 4 days (1 million years / 10^8 = 1 year / 100) as simultaneous.

Theoretical biologists are interested in measuring the extent
at which we can measure the truth. This package allows to
create a Bayesian posterior from a phylogeny that depicts
the true evolutionary relationships. The given and true phylogeny
can than be compared to the posterior phylogenies.
