We just previously had "Drop time.monotonic() function, rename time.wallclock() to time.steady()" checked in a few weeks ago, and now we're renaming a variation on time.steady to time.monotonic? What's the next move? I'm not paying close attention here but there's a lot of movement going on. Figuring out the API before we get too deep is probably a good idea.

Agreed with Brian. Obviously the API needs further discussion, judging by Victor's own multiple changes of mind on the subject.

Regards

Antoine.
