As you asked me in private, I replaced "Precision" with "Resolution"
almost everywhere in the PEP. I removed the "precision" key of
time.get_clock_info(): use the "resolution" key instead.

No OS provides any information on the precision, accuracy, drift or
anything else of a specific clock. Only the resolution of a clock is
known.
