Why on earth would you even want to specify a difftime ?
People have two FP's then can subtract them, case closed.
difftime() is only necessary when you have bogo-types like
timeval, and avoiding such messes is exactly why I want the
FP in the first place.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
