Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment:

OTOH, it seems that Guido is very much in favor of hard-coding ns resolution in 
the API, claiming that expectations of even finer resolution are academic. 
While I still disagree (the *very* same argument was brought up for ms 
resolution ten years ago), I think that practicality beats purity here: people 
apparently can deal with an fixed scale much better than with a floating one. 
So it may be better to meet the apparent intuition of the majority than follow 
the purity route.
