The explanation was excellent, thank you. I wonder why it's designed
in such an odd way, instead of just having current_time with some
extra/fractional bits not visible in the timestamp. Sigh.

In any case, I don't feel strongly but it definitely seems to me like
the crucial distinction here is not the precision of the timestamp but
whether the user intends to dial the frequency.
