Treating negative values the same way as zero allows client code to handle interval calculations in a generic manner. > I can see the rationale for that... From an API PoV, that makes logical sense, I think. I agree, and also question the abs time logic. Why would we want to introduce an extra computational burden and logic test in critical path code? If the caller has an abs time they can perform the math in the most efficient manner possible, we must call out for the system time and have no means to optimize this.
