Yes, to avoid yet another Python 2/3 difference. It should be
replaced with the appropriate variant on Windows
and non-Windows platforms. From Serhiy's response that's
time.process_time() on non-Windows platforms and time.perf_counter()
on Windows.

The documentation can point to the new functions and recommend
these over time.clock().
