I'm not talking about always using absolute timeouts.
I'm saying the timeout parameter should be a struct timespec* and then
the flags word could have a flag meaning "this is an absolute timeout".
I.e., enable both uses,, even make relative timeouts the default.
This is what the modern POSIX interfaces do, too, see clock_nanosleep.
