Please let's calm down.  I think it's fair to say that yes, this stuff has
been discussed, and yes, the archives are now _really_ big so finding this
may be difficult.

I hope you're still interested in participating.

As to sub-second resolutions.  Let's settle this simply right now.  This
_will_ be supported at the core level.  The fineness of resolution is yet
to be determined.  And the implementation (floating point versus an
additional scalar parameter) is also undetermined.

But I really don't want to worry about that right now.  Implementing this
will be relatively simple compared to some of the stuff that I'm working
on right now, like time zones and (soon) leap seconds.
