Victor, I think that steady can always be monotonic, there are time sources
enough to ensure this on the platforms I am aware of. Strict in this sense
refers to not being adjusted forward, i.e. CLOCK_MONOTONIC vs
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW.

Non monotonicity of this call should be considered a bug. Strict would be
used for profiling where forward leaps would disqualify the timing.
