I removed it because I don't like tuple: you cannot do arithmetic on tuple, like t2-t1. Print a tuple doesn't give you a nice output. It is used in C because you have no other choice, but in Python, we can do better. > As I said in another message, another hint that this is the wrong API design: > Will the APIs ever support passing in types other than these five?

I don't know if we should only support 3 types today, or more, but I suppose that we will add more later (e.g. if datetime is replaced by another new and better datetime module). You mean that we should use a string instead of type, so time.time(format="decimal")? Or do something else?
