Wait, what?
I already thought we, several days ago, decided that "steady" was a
*terrible* name, and that monotonic should *not* fall back to the
system clock.
It seems that we are going in circles with this. Now we are back to
where we started. Now we have a time.steady() which may not be steady
and a time.highres() which may not be high resolution.
