Hmm. Let me know when you're done too; my counterproposal example
implementation uses .resolution as the name for the metadata specifying
the fineness of the OS call API (not the accuracy of the clock). So I
would like to adjust my metadata to match and send Vicotr updated code
for the snapshot he has in the PEP.
