Yeah, I thought about that too; but that sacrifices capability in the name
of terminological consistency. The point of TIMING OFF is to not pay the
very high overhead of per-node timing calls ... but that doesn't mean you
don't want the overall runtime. And it might not be convenient to get it
via client-side measurement.
