In fact this idea could even be made public e.g. like this

    class ClockDrifter:
        def add_snapshot(self, exttime, loctime=None):
            if loctime is None:
                loctime = time.time()
            ...
        def drift_tendency(self):
            ...
        def drift_distance(self):
            ...

I could think of usages thereof.
