Exactly. The issue is if you think that there is something more than that; 
for whatever reason Niklas seems to think there are requirements intended 
beyond that, and that simply isn't true. It's clear that he'd never be happy 
with a Windows implementation of Ada.Execution_Time -- too bad, because it 
still can be useful.
