From the time-to-seconds doc-string:<br>&quot;Convert time value TIME to a floating point number.  You can use `float-time&#39; instead.&quot;<br>Looking at both functions, there doesn&#39;t seem to be any difference other than float-time being implemented in C.  Should time-to-seconds just be aliased to float-time?<br>
<br>Patch to time-date.el:<br>&lt; ;;;###autoload<br>&lt; (defun time-to-seconds (time)<br>&lt;   &quot;Convert time value TIME to a floating point number.<br>&lt; You can use `float-time&#39; instead.&quot;<br>&lt;   (with-decoded-time-value ((high low micro time))<br>
&lt;     (+ (* 1.0 high 65536)<br>&lt;        low<br>&lt;        (/ micro 1000000.0))))<br>---<br>&gt; (defalias &#39;time-to-seconds &#39;float-time)<br><br>Thanks,<br>Nathaniel Flath<br>
