I renamed time.steady() to time.try_monotonic() in the PEP. It's a temporary name until we decide what to do with this function.
How about get rid of it? Also monotonic should either not exist if it's not available, or always guarantee a (artificially) monotonic value. Finding out that something is already known to not work shouldn't require a call and a faked OSError.
