monotonic() may not be the best name in this case. Jeffrey Yasskin proposed time.steadyclock(), so time.steadyclock(monotonic=False)?

I don't know what "steady" is supposed to mean here, so perhaps the best solution is to improve the doc?

Also, "monotonic=False" implies that it won't be monotonic, which is false.
