If QueryPerformanceCounter() is monotonic, the API can be simplified to:
* time.time() = system clock * time.monotonic() = monotonic clock * time.hires() = monotonic clock or fallback to system clock
time.hires() definition is exactly what I was trying to implement with "time.steady(strict=True)" / "time.try_monotonic()".
Please don't call the fallback version "hires" as it suggests it may be higher resolution than time.time() and that's completely the wrong idea.
It's also a completely ugly name, since it's quite hard to figure out what it is supposed to stand for in the first place. Georg
