What's wrong with "time.time()" again?  As documented in
http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/time.html it makes no guarantees,
and specifically there is *no* guarantee that it will ever behave
*badly*<wink/>.  Of course, we'll have to guarantee that, if a
badly-behaved clock is available, users can get access to it, so call
that time._time().
