The only place it matters inside DT (from_epoch) already supports it.

 This means that if the user has loaded Time::HiRes, then we can use
 it. Otherwise we dont.
That doesn't make it very easy to say "I want an object that 
represents the time 'right now' with sub second resolution".

What I'm proposing is like the Net::Ping syntax but at the class level.
So you're only suggesting it as a part of the now() call? If that's 
the case why not have:

$dt = DateTime->now();

and

$dt = DateTime->now_high_res();
or
$dt = DateTime->now( high_res=>1 );
Cheers!
