Hi all,

The documentation for Data.Time.Clock.DiffTime says that DiffTime has an *accuracy* of 10^-12 seconds. Since (I assume) the datatype can't ensure the accuracy of external timekeeping mechanisms, shouldn't this say *precision* of 10^-12 seconds? The same is true for NominalDiffTime.

Sounds right to me.

I don't know if a change this simple needs to go though the Library Submissions Process, but it certainly could.

Not for minor documentation changes. Just email the maintainer, preferably with a patch to make his life easier. Duncan
