I'm sure other places can be found like that. And even one such
occurrence can be enough motivation.

No, not at all. We could write the code in Elisp and put it into
files.el or wherever. The point is that this sort of thing need not and
should not be written in C.

I'm not sure what is meant by the distinction between a monotonic clock
and an elapsed-time clock. Either way, current-time does not suffice.
GNU/Linux has many types of monotonic clocks. We don't need to expose
them all to the user. But Emacs apps do need at least one such clock,
and POSIX's CLOCK_MONOTONIC is a portable way to get one.
