That's what I think would be a better solution, since the
absolute value of time.clock() is never used, only the difference.

If you then get better accuracy in that difference, things
can only get better, so this is not really backwards compatibility
issue (nothing gets worse).

Not sure whether the function name would cause an incompatibility
issue. I doubt it, but if it does we could have time.clock()
as function which then simply calls time.perf_counter().
