Wrong variables used in example

[sedwick2048]

Description

In the "Dates and times" section, the example code starts with:

message Meeting {
    string subject = 1;
    google.protobuf.Timestamp start = 2;
    google.protobuf.Duration duration = 3;
}  

But the next code uses Time and Duration for the Meeting instance's properties, when it probably should instead use start and duration:

// Create Timestamp and Duration from .NET DateTimeOffset and TimeSpan.
var meeting = new Meeting
{
    Time = Timestamp.FromDateTimeOffset(meetingTime), // also FromDateTime()
    Duration = Duration.FromTimeSpan(meetingLength)
};

// Convert Timestamp and Duration to .NET DateTimeOffset and TimeSpan.
var time = meeting.Time.ToDateTimeOffset();
var duration = meeting.Duration?.ToTimeSpan();

Correcting this may reduce confusion. Thanks...
