I must admit I don't understand the stat_float_times documentation: “For compatibility with older Python versions, accessing stat_result as a tuple always returns integers. Python now returns float values by default. Applications which do not work correctly with floating point time stamps can use this function to restore the old behaviour.” These two paragraphs seem to contradict themselves. That said, I don't understand why we couldn't simply deprecate stat_float_times() right now. Having an option for integer timestamps is pointless, you can just call int() on the result if you want.
