they _could_ be implemented, sure, but speaking as bionic's maintainer, i'd
definitely object to adding something so specific ... the whole reason with
worked with the glibc folks to get the new pthread functions with a clock
parameter standardized was because we were sick of the random subset of
functions working on specific clocks, and wanted to just have the clock be
a parameter.

if C wants to add equivalents to the pthread functions, those functions
should also take arguments that can be any of their TIME_* values rather
than hard-coding clocks into function names.
