These functions are needed because they handle large timestamps, like
time.time() which uses the UNIX epoch as reference, and so their version
without the ``_ns`` suffix are likely to lose precision at the
nanosecond resolution.

Python has other functions handling time. No nanosecond variant was
proposed because their internal resolution is greater or equal to 1 us,

example, the maximum value of ``clock_getres()`` is likely to be 1
