In fact my original implementation had it but my use case is really
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, however, the general opinion on the thread was to
implement what is needed now and if someone needs (CLOCK_MONOTONIC),
it can be added at that time. So I removed it.

This was added in rev3
(Also this is the API version-history which intends to track how the
fields have changed / morphed and not to be confused with the patch
versions)

I have the last paragraph in the commit log about compatibility.


Thanks for the comments,
