This is where the bitmap approach can be less confusing - the docstring says "The returned clock shall have all the requested flags". It is at least very predictable.

By the way, I removed ("deferred") the time.highres() function from the PEP, and I try to avoid the term "steady" because no OS clock respect the definition of "steady" (especially in corner cases as system suspend/resume). So which flags do you want to support? (only "monotonic"?)

Basically, get_clock("monotonic") should give time.monotonic() whereas get_clock() gives time.time()?
