* time.monotonic() and time.perf_counter() may or may not be adjusted.
For example, ``CLOCK_MONOTONIC`` is slewed on Linux, whereas
``GetTickCount()`` is not adjusted on Windows.
``time.get_clock_info('monotonic')['adjusted']`` can be used to check
if the monotonic clock is adjusted or not.
``time.get_clock_info('monotonic')['adjustable']`` can be used to check
if the monotonic clock is adjustable or not.
* No time.thread_time() function is proposed by this PEP because it is
not needed by Python standard library nor a common asked feature.
Such function would only be available on Windows and Linux. On
