True, but that's how Emacs uses this interface:
it conflates the notions of timestamps and timestamp
differences, and uses the same EMACS_TIME type for both.
This could be fixed by switching to a more
complicated API that distinguishes between the two
notions, and if Emacs's timestamp computations get more
complicated that's probably a good way to go.
It's not needed for Emacs's current usage, though.
