And while we're at that: os_read_monotonic_time() returns something
called os_t, which is typedef'd to be int. Wouldn't "unsigned int"
be more appropriate?
I mean, the monotonic timer starts at zero and (theoretically) wraps
around after 497 days. If os_t is a signed int, things could go wrong
after half the time...
Okay, that's purely academic, as no RISC OS machine runs that long
without crashing, but I just wanted to tell someone... :)
