> It's a little awkward to use a 64-bit integer containing microseconds. What’s the argument against using a double containing seconds for this?

The hope was that having separate types would discourage people from confusing them with the values returned from currentTime.

A double of seconds is just as useful for my purposes though, so I'm happy to switch if you'd like.

> Can we name this monotonicallyIncreasingTim instead of currentTickCount?

Sure, I will upload a patch shortly.
