FWIW, the leading "T" is now gone, so it would now read: clock = getclock(MONOTONIC|HIRES) or getclock(MONOTONIC) If the symbol names are not the horribleness, can you qualify what API you would like more?

I reckon the API is ok given that you don't have to supply the flags, correct?

A small point but I'm with (I think) Terry Reedy and Steven D'Aprano in that hires is an English word, could you please substitute highres and HIGHRES, thanks.
