It's because this is highly unreadable: results = blah.whatever(True)What the heck does that `True` do? It can be marginally better with akeyword-only argument, but not much.I haven't read the whole thread so maybe this is a stupid question, but whycan't we add a datetime-compatible higher precision type that hides all theimplementation details?-Barry
