Yes. I've been mostly staying out of the PEP 418 clock discussion
(there are enough oars in there already), but numeric flags are
unnecessarily hard to debug. Use strings as your constants unless
there's a compelling reason not to.
Seeing "('MONOTONIC', 'HIGHRES')" in a debugger or exception message
is a lot more informative than seeing "3".
Regards,
Nick.
