+This module provides a monotonic() function which returns the value (in
+fractional seconds) of a clock which never goes backwards.
+
+On Python 3.3 or newer, monotonic will be an alias of time.monotonic from the
+standard library. On older versions, it will fall back to an equivalent
+Linux implementation: clock_gettime.
+
+If no suitable implementation exists for the current platform, attempting to
+import this module (or to import from it) will cause a RuntimeError exception
+to be raised.
